Modern edition by James Johnson ASCAP 1551618. This extraordinarily beautiful SATB motet for Maundy Thursday or Good Friday by Pierre de la Rue
(c 1460-1518) is composed over two separate texts heard simultaneously. In soprano, tenor and bass the ancient
chant "Vexilla regis prodeunt—" is heard, while the alto sings "Passio domini Jesu Christi—" announcing Christ's Passion as related by Matthew.
I am pleased to offer this free of charge in PDF by email to interested musicians. Moderately easy. The score is written in Sibelius, so fully professional in format.
