The sixteenth work in Corteccia's Canticorum liber primus cum sex vocibus (published in Venice in 1571) is also one of his finest motets ever. While five voices sing the usual text (Cum ortus fuerit sol de caelo, videbitis regem regum...) the Quintus sings a cantus firmus ostinato with different words (Crastina die delebitur iniquitas terrae. Alleluia), including a canon indication (Si primum dulci concentus voce requiras post primas pausas, cetera deinde canas).
