First published: 1521 in Antico, Motetti libro primo [Venice] (RISM 1521/3)

    3rd published: 1529 in Attaingnant, XII. Motetz musicaulx a quatre et cinq voix [Paris] (RISM 1529/1)
The two Antico publications are the earliest published sources of this work, though the many hand-copied sources date from as early as c.1505–13. The later publication by Pierre Attaingnant seems to be a popular source for modern editions; however, the second half of the 39th breve is missing in all four part books, which results in a 'leftover' half-bar in modern notation. This error appears to be unique to that source.

Description: Mouton's motet is the model for a number of parody works by later composers, including masses by Morales and Willaert and motets by Crecquillon, Pedro de Cristo and Giovanni Croce (the Morales mass and the latter two motets being available at CPDL). It was so popular in its day that it was sung everywhere from the Sistine Chapel to Guatemalan frontier missions.
