Description: A 4 part motet for the coronation of François I, king of France. The motet starts with text from Psalm 113 and then goes on to celebrate the king. This work appears to be a contrafactum of a motet by Jean Mouton also using different text, apart from the extract from Psalm 113.

External websites: Mouton's original work. The first in a collection of 5 of his motets.

Original text and translations

Latin text

Non nobis domine non nobis,
sed nomini tuo da gloriam,
qui Franciscum sublimasti
et in regem coronasti.
Cum plebis laetitia,
ergo clamemus in caelum
Vivat rex in eternum.
Vivat rex, vivat rex per saecula.
O Francia quantum potes,
lauda deum,
qui tibi regem Franciscum dedit.
Ergo clamemus in caelum
vivat rex in eternum,
vivat rex, vivat rex per saecula.

Jesu bone rex virtutum,
qui das salutem regibus,
conserva regem Franciscum,
dans pacem suis diebus.
Ergo clamemus in caelum:
vivat rex in eternum,
vivat rex per secula.
O Maria, mater dei,
exaudi preces Franciscum.
Serva semper lilium
da robur, fer auxilium.
Ergo clamemus in caelum:
vivat rex in eternum,
vivat rex, vivat rex per secula.
