Description
This five-part fantasia in two sections is composed in relation to the motet Benedicta es, caelorum regina by Josquin Desprez. At the time, this motet was a greatly admired composition that many other composers, including Le Jeune, parodied. The fantasia can be played best on viols (Tr, A, A/T, T/B, B), the three middle parts however are additionally supplied in violin clef, so that this work can also be performed by wind or mixed ensembles.
