"This is apparently the only surviving motet by Mes (also a composer of souterliedeken vernacular psalm settings), who is thought to have been a pupil of Clemens non Papa. It was published in Düsseldorf in 1556 with the unusual key signature of three flats, and the fact that it includes numerous A flats makes it desirable to add some editorial D flats as well - most exotic. The original clefs were C1, C3, C3, C4, F4."
