I had a brief look at this file. The word "loop" in this context is unclear to me. Also, you refer to the piece as both an "anthem" and a "motet", which is confusing. I see the DYK nomination uses these terms as well. :) Jmar67 (talk) 15:48, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Gerda Arendt: I have linked "loop" in the file. Jmar67 (talk) 19:58, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the link. It's not the typical motet, because the instruments play a decisive role, but it looks like the composer called it that. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:21, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
