Program Notes
Motetus borrows techniques from two types of 13th- and 14th-century motets: the slowly wandering, modal cantus firmus in the lowest voice, and an isorhythmic organization of durations in the symmetric proportion 3:2:1:3:1:2:3, which appears in various augmentations in the upper voices.
