Responsorio a 4 voci di Hilaire Penet, per il secondo notturno della festa di S.Giovanni (nella liturgia domenicana delle ore). Si tratta di un mottetto riutilizzato da Palestrina e da Costanzo Porta, entrambi di una trentina d'anni più giovani di Penet, il quale deve aver lavorato a Roma almeno nei suoi primi anni di attività musicale, o comunque cantato nella cappella papale dal 1514 al 1520.
Questo mottetto - grazie proprio a Palestrina e Porta, ma anche ad altri compositori europei, quasi fosse un "tormentone" dell'epoca - insieme a un paio di Magnificat, un "Virgo Prudentissima" e una manciata di brani profani, è quanto ci rimane di lui.

Hilaire Penet (born 1501?) was a French composer of the Renaissance, who worked for at least the earlier part of his life in Rome.
Unusually for a Renaissance composer, more is known of his earlier life than his later; indeed nothing at all is known of him after 1520. He was probably born in 1501, since his age is given as 14 in a document of 1515, and he was probably born near Poitiers. He served as a singer in the papal chapel from 1514, when he arrived there in the care of Carpentras, until 1520 when he left never to return. Since much of his music was published in the 1530s and later, he may have still been alive then and working elsewhere; presumably had he been still working in association with the papal chapel, there would be records of his employment.
Penet is most famous as the composer of Descendit angelus Domini, a four-voice motet which was used both by Palestrina and Costanzo Porta as source material for mass composition. The motet circulated widely in Europe and apparently was quite popular; Penet can be seen as a kind of Renaissance one-hit wonder on the strength and popularity of this refined, elegant composition. He also wrote two settings of the Magnificat which have survived, another motet (Virgo prudentissima), as well as a handful of secular chansons, all of which are settings of current popular tunes.
