Several of the psalms of this cycle were composed jointly by Willaert and Jachet de Mantua (d.c.1559). How exactly this procedure worked is unknown. Organ works are taken from Andrea Gabrieli and Girolamo Cavazzoni. The concluding Magnificat is a masterpiece of Nicolas Gombert. The cycle is purely conjectural, but makes a nice service.
