Giovanni Battista Corvo (fl. 1554-5): Domum istam (SATTB) [Mutettorum quinque vocum, 1555]

We know very little about the life of Giovanni Battista Corvo (fl. 1554-5). His Liber primus mutettorum quinque vocum was published by Antonio Gardano in Venice, in 1555. He was probably from Como and dedicated the collection to Alessandro Farnese. Some of Corvo's motets are rather uncommon, as they are designated to unusual Saints like St. Julian, St. Severin and St Provino di Como ("Beati Provini Episcop Comensis"). 

The five-voice Domum istam (SATTB) is the fifth motet from Liber primus mutettorum quinque vocum
