Comments

This resembles an authentic cadence in many ways, but the pseudo-cadential pair moves from a minor sixth to an octave, not a major sixth.

This text declaim spans two lines of text, and in conjunction with the declamation in the other voices, forms a NIM. However, as parts go with different phrases, it could not be tagged as such.
