Notes

This motet has two concurrent versions involving a significant variant on bars 68-70 (versions labelled II and IV in Hardie 1983; see also Alvarenga 2019). One of these two versions is transmitted by manuscripts P-Cug MM 12, MM 32, and E-Tc Cód. B. 21, and can be seen in the editions by Imrie and Stevenson; the other one appears in the remaining four sources of this piece. Despite the conflicting attribution, authorship by Escobar is generally acknowledged.
