This motet was carefully chosen to reflect Henry’s most pressing concern at the time: to ensure the continuation of the Tudor dynasty through the birth of a son. It is a canon (or round) for four voices: two voices sing the music as written and another two sing the same melody a perfect fourth higher, beginning when the first singers reach the points marked with a sign.
