Costanzo Festa’s (?) motet ‘O altitudo divitiarum’ re-examined: new suggestions regarding its source context, attribution and function by Wojciech Odoj

“…The analysis of O altitudo divitiarum, on the other hand, its stylistic features, transmission, and liturgical and historical context has made me suggest that the motet, if indeed by Festa, may have been intended for the peace treaty in Nice in 1538 with participation of Pope Paul III, Emperor Charles V, and King Francis I of France. If so, it could be considered as a companion to Cristóbal de Morales’s six-voice motet in two movements Jubilate Deo omnis terra which was specifically written for this occasion. …”
