A motet for St Cecilia's day, pub. Nuremberg, 1577.
Lyrics: Anon

Cantantibus organis Cæcilia virgo in corde suo
soli Domino decantabat dicens:
Fiat Domine cor meum et corpus meum
immaculatum ut non confundar.
Sancta Cecilia ora pro nobis.

While organs played, the virgin Cecilia
sang in her heart to the one Lord saying:
Let my Lord make my heart and my body unspotted,
that I may not be confounded.
Saint Cecilia intercede on our behalf.
