‘Quod est inferius est sicut quod est superius, et quod est superius est sicut quod est inferius, ad perpetranda miracula rei unius.’ ❋ KATHLEEN MCGOWAN (2010)

I would like to think that The Tallis Scholars allow themselves to be influenced by the music they sing - like in this album, with it's lower superius parts that steer away from the characteristically stratospheric soprano sound lending themselves to a gentler, mellow tone backed up by the use of high-tenors on the Altus. ❋ Lu (2009)
This song, whose melody (in the superius) features in the Chansonnier de Bayeux (a collection probably compiled in Normandy around the years 1490 to 1495) was itself published by Andrea Antico in 1503. ❋ Lu (2009)

The four-voice Salve regina, sub-titled ‘Diversi diversa orant’, incorporates seven Marian antiphons, each of the lower voices freely paraphrasing two plainsong antiphons in succession while the superius unfolds the Salve. ❋ Lu (2009)
His mastery of traditional polyphonic techniques is demonstrated by his five-part Salve regina constructed on the popular melody Adieu mes amours, and his large-scale cantus firmus setting of the superius of Ockeghem's Fors seulement, as well as his canonic motets Ista est speciosa and Per lignum crucis. ❋ Lu (2009)
In the Missa ‘Je suis desheritée’, uncharacteristic of Gombert in several respects, the superius of the model is literally quoted with doubled note-values in the first two sections of the Credo. ❋ Lu (2009)

Quod est inferius est sicut quod est superius, et quod est superius est sicut quod est inferius, ad perpetranda miracula rei unius ❋ Cytokinesis (2008)

Postea habent ornamentum capitis, quod vocant botta, quod fit de cortice arboris vel alia materia, quam possunt inuenire, leuiore: et est grossum et rotundum, quantum potest duabus manibus complecti; longum vero vnius cubiti et plus, quadrum superius, sicut capitellum vnius columnæ. ❋ Unknown (2004)
Istud botta cooperiunt panno serico precioso; et est concauum interius: et super capitellum in medio vel super quadraturam illam ponunt virgulam de calamis pennarum vel cannis gracilibus longitudinis scilicet vnius cubiti et plus: et illam sibi virgulam ornant superius de pennis pauonis, et per longum in circuitu pennulis caudæ malardi, et etiam lapidibus præciosis. ❋ Unknown (2004)
