SAATTB Scoring legend Pentecost (Whitsun) - Hymn ISMN M-2056-0412-7 
The piece was printed in Novum et insigne opus musicum...Nürnberg, 1537 (RISM 1537/1), where it was attributed to Josquin, and many ms sources are simply copied from this widely distributed print. The attribution is credible, for the piece is in the typical Josquin style - the so-called sequence-chain form, with music repeated for the pairs of text lines (as in the chant) - and with a pair of canons: the Discantus and Tenor sing the paraphrased chant, while Quintus and Bassus have related but independent material. The remaining two voices, Contratenor and Sextus, are freely composed.
