In Sr. Gail Morgan, o.p. this case, its musical genesis is in a motet by Victoria which sets the Song of Principal Songs passage, “Arise, make haste, my love, my dove, my fair one, and come away.” The Song of Songs is read on the Passover Sabbath and is therefore DOMINICAN SHRINE OF likewise associated with Easter and Spring.
