Edition notes: Original pitch (AABB). Faithful transcription from its unique source (Cypriot-French Codex fol. 59r). Editorial accidental above notes. Original spelling of Medieval Latin. Occasional subdivision of note for the sake of text underlay. Text underlay Tenor based on plainchant sequence Victimae Paschali laudes. Ligatures indicated by brackets. Further comments: Unexpected c-sharp (bar 13 motetta part) left unchanged in edition. The forced raised c in the tenor part creates a melodic augmented fourth. Unprepared dissonances (bar 19, 24) left as found in source.

Latin text Tenor Víctime pascáli láudes ímmolent christiáni. Agnus redémit óves: Chrístus ínnocens Pátri reconciliávit peccatóres. Motetta Víctima láudum pascális pláusus sit immolántibus, Agni pásce veniális edúlium fidélibus, Innocens ágnus céditur, ágni mórte mirífice. Nócens óvis redímitur, vívit mors honorífice. Mors césum fácit vívere, mors víva sálus hóstia, mors sepúltum resúrgere, mors mórtis dígna vénia. Redémit nos a vício mórtis, mors morte vívimus, mors nóstra liberátio mórtuo grátes ágimus. Duplum Víctimis in pascálibus láudes ímmolant redémpti, Agni pásc[ha]e cruóribus per mórtem mórtis exémpti. Agnus a mórte redémit mórtuas óves sánguine, Mórtem dum mórte perémit crímen vincéndo crímine. Agni per mórtem náscitur mórti ámpla redémptio. Mórtuus quándo céditur ínnocens ágnus gládio. Agni mors salus óvium vitáque síne término. Unde pláusu celéstium grátes agámus dómino.

English translation Tenor To the Paschal victim let Christians offer up their songs of praise. The Lamb has redeemed the sheep: Christ who is without sin has reconciled sinners to the Father.
