Beata es virgo Maria / Salve regina / Ave Maria is an amazing six-voice motet copied in a manuscript choirbook (Ms. 8) in the Tarazona Cathedral (Spain). It has three different texts and two cantus firmus ostinato: while four voices sing the text Beata es virgo Maria Dei genitrix, the Supranus 1 sings the first notes of the Salve regina (Salve regina misericordiae) and the Tenor 2 the beginning of the Ave Maria plainchant (Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum).
