Description: Among Manchicourt's more than seventy motets, this is the only one with a partial signature (an additional flat in the Bassus part only), a technique from the earlier generation of Renaissance composers. This motet exemplifies Manchicourt's word-painting skills at their best: he has set the Quinta Pars to a slow-moving, ostinato-like cantus firmus — using the opening line of the chant setting of the Votive Antiphon for Peace — that stands in stark (and peaceful) contrast to the frenetic movement of the freely composed counterpoint in the other five voices, depicting their relentless and fruitless search for peace.
