February 20Feb 20 I made this very small renaissance motet for 4 voices, Cantus, Altus, Tenor and Bassus. However my stupid brain wrote the text wrong and instead of "Sicut LILIUM" it became "Sicut ILIUM", I only noticed it after finishing the motet! But besides that part everything is in accordance to what it should be. Enjoy! Text: Sicut [l]ilium inter spinas Sic amica mea inter filias
February 22Feb 22 Very expressive and tasteful writing — stylistically convincing, with beautifully balanced imitative lines. Honestly one of the prettiest pieces I've come across on this forum. (By the way, I noticed a parallel fifth right before the tenore's very first re-entry between the bass and alto (A–E, G–D), and I think I heard another similar moment elsewhere. Were these choices intentional? The piece is so stylistically assured that they caught my ear — not because they sound harsh (they don't), but because they stand out a bit against the otherwise very refined, Renaissance-authentic counterpoint.) A very enjoyable work!
