des versets diffrents, que lon pouvait ajouter au plainchant en cas dexcution pendant la messe ; mais, comme
seuls les premiers mots sont mis en musique, la liturgie ad
hoc est peut-tre celle des vpres pascales. La brivet de
cette pice la prdestinait une fte o lon avait dj
beaucoup chant, et la joyeuse mise en musique ternaire
des mots exsultemus, et laetemur convient naturellement la clbration de la rsurrection. Alleluia.
Tulerunt Dominum est une pice liturgiquement un
peu plus inhabituelle : le texte apparat comme antienne
du Magnificat, le vendredi de la semaine pascale, mais
sans lAllluia initial exprim en musique par Palestrina.
cette section inaugurale succde la phrase Tulerunt
Dominum meum ( Ils ont emmen mon Seigneur ),
dabord nonce par les deux voix suprieures (allusion
aux deux Marie ?) puis dveloppe par le chur entier.
Plus tard, les mots si tu ( si tu ) sont souligns, sur
un ton presque accusateur, avant le retour de lallgresse,
avec la syncope dicito mihi ( dis-moi ), et un
ultime Allluia.
Le cycle annuel dOffertoires polyphoniques palestriniens, tous cinq parties, fut publi en 1593 par Francesco
Coattino Rome. Cinq pices pour les dimanches pascals
sont proposes ici. Terra tremuit ( La terre trembla )
