The opening of this motet displays Massaino's skill in the art of word-painting with soaring lines that play on the word 'arise' (Surge). Punctuated with occasional homophonic writing, the beautiful melodic lines find clever use of imitation across all voices. The secunda pars increases the quick imitation of the vocal lines, mirroring the excitement of the text 'the time of pruning has come' (Tempus putationis advenit). This, coupled with the introduction of shorter note values, creates a joyful celebration of the text from the Song of Songs. Offprinted from The Oxford Book of Upper-Voice Polyphony.
