No.76 (Christopher Tye) "Rubum quem"
This song apparently survived only in this manuscript. The title suggests that there may have been lyrics, but Dow did not write them.
It is not possible to classify the music according to the lyrics, but five motifs appear, and the motif from the beginning returns at the end. The lyrics used by Josquin, who probably used identical lyrics, are in verse 5, so I will use an analogy from there.
bar1-9 : (Rubum quem viderat)
bar9-17 : (Moyses incombustum)
bar17-25 : (conservatam agnovimus)
bar25-37 : (tuam laudabilem virginitatem,)
bar37-49 : (Dei Genitrix, intercede pro nobis.)
