Renaissance Motets for Brass Ensembles, Vol. 2, contains Exurgat Deus (Let God Arise and Scatter His Enemies), a five-voice motet from Psalm 67. Imitative texture predominates with overlapping cadences. Her melodies are particularly well-constructed and singable. Motets were usually performed by trained singers, and the range of these motets is extended with the soprano going higher than the usual tessitura, while the alto and bass sing lower than the usual range. Also included are the motets Angelus ad pastores ait (Gabriel Said unto the Shepherds), Ascendens Christus in altum (Christ has Ascended to Heaven), and Facta est cum angelo (With the Angel Suddenly).
