Alio modo, Canon à 6 - Agostini, Paolo 1583-1629 (1627)
Six-part double canon and circle canon
Both this and the previous Canon à 4 (p. 9) are based on the same materials: The Kyrie 2 motive, which is also stated at the end of the setting of the Gloria (in the two upper voices) that immediately precedes this canon. A counter-motive comprising the last 4 notes of the Bass from the end of the preceding Gloria setting.
The second canon type is a variant of the invertible canon because comes 2 enters at 4th below instead of 11th below. Repeat signs in each canon at the end of Cantus 1 and Bassus indicate a circle canon.
