General Information

Title: Sancta Maria
Composer: Thomas Crecquillon

Number of voices: 4vv Voicing: SATB ('si ascendero...'), ATBB ('si descendero...')
Genre: Sacred, Motet

Language: Latin
Instruments: a cappella
Published: Motetti del Laberinto, a quatro voci libro secondo..., 1554

Description: In the margin above the Cantus part of the source manuscript, the following inscription appears, together with the beginning of the Cantus part transposed down a twelfth, in the bass F-clef:

Canon
si ascendero in caelum, tu illis es,
si descendero in infernum, ad es.


The solution to this Canon (rule) is that the Cantus part may be sung either as found in the manuscript or transposed down a twelfth, becoming a 'Cantus-Bassus' part. The italicized text is from the Vulgate edition of Psalm 138(139), vs. 8: If I climb up to heaven, thou art there; if I make my bed in Sheol, again I find thee.
