Notes:
In the words of Owen Rees, this chant insertion amidst the polyphonic music "has local significance, St Martin of Tour being the object of special veneration in Portugal; the feast is allocated the rank of duarum cantorum with octave in the Santa Cruz printed breviary of 1531."
See O. Rees: Polyphony in Portugal, Garland ed., 1995, p. 160.
