This motet is a homage to the famous third Agnus Dei from Josquin's Missa L'homme armé sexti toni and also to Heinrich Isaac's Lied Innsbruck, Ich muss dich lassen.  It is in 10 parts: a quadruple canon in the soprano, alto, tenor and lower bass parts, and a retrograde canon in the upper bass parts.  The music is performed by "one-man choir" Matthew Curtis.
