In lectulo meo by anonymous
The text is from the Song of Songs, which, along with all the delights of love, concerns itself as well with the frustrations and anxieties and contretemps which are an inescapable part of any love story. ‘In lectulo meo’ portrays a dream-like sequence—perhaps actually a dream—in which the woman seeks her lover through the city, harassed and even wounded by the watchmen; she finally finds him, and imagines the time when they will be able to declare their love openly. The anonymous composer incomparably depicts this complex scene in his chiaroscuro three-part setting. It's a curious style and texture for 1504, quite archaic and even medieval in texture and style. Unforgettable!
