The preserved manuscript of this song was copied around 1261. Although the composer is not known it was possibly written by W. de Wycombe (William of Winchcombe) or perhaps a monk at Reading Abbey. It is the oldest known music featuring six-part harmony.
The musical form is a Rota (latin: "Wheel") a type of Round. If you look carefully at the manuscript you will see a red cross indicating when the next voice (starting at the beginning) should enter.
