"Such a short Song of Songs motet is quite unusual in the British choirbooks of the period: most of the repertoire consists of evening canticles to the virgin and masses. Preceding this motet in the Carver Choirbook was an “Anima mea liquefacta est”, of which only the last (apparently second) page survives on the recto-side of the first page of ‘Invenerunt’. As this verse also precedes ‘Invenerunt’ in the Song of Songs, it may be that the two pieces were actually intended as one composition in two movements. Stylistically they look rather similar, with many consecutive breves, especially in the two lowest voices."

Invenerunt me custodes civitatis. Tulerunt pallium meum custodes murorum. Filiae Jerusalem, nuntiato dilecto, quia amore langueo.
