3 questions on what you just read. Get one wrong and the story will show you where it says otherwise.

The words are the closing petition of the Agnus Dei of the Latin Mass, in continuous use for over a thousand years; the three-part round melody is anonymous, orally transmitted, in print since the 19th century, and spuriously attributed to Mozart or Palestrina without evidence. Both parts are public domain beyond argument. Source text. Translation ours.
