Eterne laudis lilium. Robert Fayrfax. A-cappella-. Heilig, Motette. Sprache. Latin. SATTB.

Im Original

The text of this motet, as well as being a highly fanciful genealogy of Jesus Christ down the female line, is an acrostic spelling out the name of its dedicatee, Fayrfax's royal patron and quite possibly personal friend, Elizabeth of York, wife of Henry VII. The ‘Anthem of oure lady and Saint Elisabeth’ for which Fayrfax was paid 20 shillings by the queen in 1502 is probably this work.
