Composer: Benedictus Appenzeller
Lyricist:

Number of voices: 5vv   Voicing: STTTB

Description: Source: Susato, Liber secundus sacrarum cantionum 5 vocum, Antwerp, 1546. The Tenor part is of the nature of a cantus firmus, but curiously is headed 'Resolutio' in the partbook, as if it were a following canonic voice. However, it clearly enters at the beginning of the first bar, and there is nothing else to indicate that the work is intended to include a sixth voice part.
