Josquin des Pres: Missa Pange lingua, Vultum tuum, Planxit autem David. Wenstminster Cathedral Choir, James O'Donnell, Hyperion CDA 66614, 1992 (cycle extended and reorganised following Macey's suggestions).
Compare the shorter cognate cycles C53b Ora pro nobis virgo and C53c Sancta dei genitrix.
MACEY 1989 proposed an extended and partially reordered cycle, including Josquin’s “little” Ave Maria and his Tu lumen, tu splendor patris. Elders discusses the hypothesis in the critical notes to the edition of the work in NJE (CC) 25.
See information on this cycle as part of The Josquin Research Project.

1--k--k--k--l--j-----j--h--j--k--k---4 "Sancta Maria, ora pro nobis." (LU 836)
