Description
for SSAA unaccompanied.
In this motet, long melismatic lines on one syllable navigate to a cadence. Taverner’s choice of an upper-voice scoring may come from a tradition of five boys singing the responsory at Matins for All Saints’ Day, personifying the five virgins mentioned in the lesson.
