Editorial Note
This anonymous motet was discovered by my late colleague, Dr. Irving Godt, at the
British Museum in a volume (B.M. Add. 33235, pp. 1-3) containing other manuscripts by
John Blow, Henry Cooke, Christopher Gibbons, Pelham Humphreys, Henry Loosemore,
Henry Purcell, and Jacobo Carissimi, including his Missa a quinque et a novem (1666).
The irregular barring of the manuscript (3/1, 5/1, 4/1, 3/1 etc.)
has been replaced with a simpler system which conforms to the cadential structure.
