comment:
I have had a lot of problems sorting this out, because I did not have access to recordings or references in the early stages of this project. Several MIDI files on the Internet attributed to Desprez didn't  seem to have any corresponding scores or recordings. Additional problem is that these MIDI files came without lyrics ...

I've figured these out:      
bulletMotettus "Pater noster -- Ave, Maria"  SAATTB  (8' 40)    REQUEST: Score with  lyrics!
X I have a music notation program file of this song  (NWC, Sibelius, etc.)
bulletAve Maria   SATB - file of unknown origin, listed as Desprez.
This is the Ave Maria part of #1, the Pater Noster-Ave Maria.
X I have a music notation program file of this song  (NWC, Sibelius, etc.)
bulletMotettus "Ave Maria ... Virgo serena"    SATB       (5' 39)
