Dulcis Amor
This long motet - in six contrasting sections - is taken from Leonard's fourth book of motets, published in Bologna in 1690. Most of the setting is syllabic, but there are several flourishes - including quite a lot of demisemiquavers!

Venite laetantes
The second of Dennis's Leonarda edition is of a motet for Soprano or Tenor with continuo, taken from her third book, dated 1687, although the line "I am the life of hearts, I am sweet Mary" suggests that the Tenor might also have been a woman...

The piece is neither as extensive nor as demanding as "Dulcis amor", but singers will particularly enjoy the gently rolling triple time sections that open and close the piece.

Dennis Collins will publish further motets by Leonarda in due course.
