Description: Micyllus's Sylvarum libri quinque presents two poems under the title Confide et ama. The first, Confisus Domino, was set by Pinchon and by Lassus; Vivere vis recte is the second poem. It was also set by Wismes and its first half by Gerarde. All these settings except that by Gerarde feature the text Confide et ama ("trust and love"), the motto of George of Austria (1505–1557), illegitimate son of Emperor Maximilan I and Prince-Bishop of Liège, as an ostinato. Lechner was a pupil of Lassus, and this piece, which is voiced similarly to Lassus's Confisus Domino, may be intended as a companion piece to it.
