Adore Te Devote is an old French church tune, listed in the Processionale in 1697. This arrangement is a four-part, or voice, fugue. As the subject is repeated in the successive voices, the preceding voice(s) branch away into harmonic supporting patterns. A double fugue such as this utilizes two musical subjects instead of just one, which are then developed. The composer uses original musical patterns to weave a tapestry of new material. The development section moves back and forth between major and minor modes, leading to a recapitulation in which the original subjects are reintroduced and the piece is brought to a close.
