Benedictus<\/h5>\n

The Benedictus section of the Sanctus, which seems to have customarily followed the Elevation of the Host when the Ordinary was sung in polyphony, is traditionally cast as a duet without cantus firmus, and Obrecht\u2019s setting conforms to this convention. Somewhat unusual, however, is the division into two distinct subsections, the first centered on C, the second on G, and both commencing with the same four-note motive presented in imitation.<\/p>\n

Obrecht’s Benedictus is sung by Cappella Pratensis<\/a> from the original notation as preserved in the choirbook Jena, Universitatsbibliothek, Ms 32<\/a>.<\/p>\n
