Extra Information	A piece in renaissance style with some word painting. The text "God is gone up" ("Ascendit Deus") stems from the Old Testament, but is reinterpreted by its usage on Ascension Day as referring to Christ. The propers list it as an offertory at Ascension Day. For editions for other voice combinations or with an English or German text underlay, see the given website.
