A favorite among choirs the world over, this 4-part motet adapts beautifully to viol consort.

Skill Builders

Musicality: We begin homophonically (playing together), followed by a polyphonic passage, giving you the chance to both meld with the other parts but also to take initiative in your solo moments.

Left Hand: We stay mostly in first position, with a few chordal fingerings along the way and one small shift at the very end.

Right Hand: As this is the soprano part of a four-part piece, we will play only on the top strings, giving us a chance to work on a fluid bow stroke and a sweet sound.
