about

by Jacob Obrecht / Spinacino (fl. 1507)

This is a setting for solo lute of the three-voice Christe Eleison from Jacob Obrecht's Missa Si dedero. Christe Eleison is translated from the Greek as "Christ, have mercy," and is the invocation from the Latin Mass that is sung alternately with Kyrie Eleison, "Lord, have mercy." Spinacino's 1507 arrangement for solo lute faithfully follows all three voice parts and adheres to the mood of Obrecht's original mass movement.

The cantus firmus upon which Obrecht's Missa Si dedero is based is drawn from the motet, Si dedero by Alexander Agricola, and is derived from the text, In pace in idipsum, a Responsory sung at Compline during Lent. The first line is from Psalm 4, verse 9, and the following lines are from Psalm 132, verse 4 (Vulgate).

In pace, in idipsum dormiam et requiescam.
Si dedero somnum oculis meis,
et palpebris meis dormitationem,
dormiam et requiescam.

In peace and into the same I shall sleep and rest.

If I give slumber to my eyes

and to my eyelids drowsiness,
I shall sleep and rest.
