Considered one of the Roman school of church composers, along with Gregorio Allegri, Paolo Agostino, and Orazio Benevoli, Cifra's compositional style merges the traditional polyphony of Palestrina with the more contemporary concertato style. The Christmas motet Ex ore infantium was published with an organ continuo accompaniment, but the piece works equally well unaccompanied. The alternation of busy rhythmic writing with homophonic statements makes this a charming motet. The original notation has been transposed up a tone.
