We notice it in the first part of the motet (1-41) before a harmonious break - worship of the Virgin (42-45) - then a final part (46-73) matching in the first one both in the formal balance and by the usage repeated but varied by the first melodic theme C - E - G.This composer and singer from Spain exercised his activity in the papal chapel of Rome in the decade 1520, chapel which preserved a large number of its works.
