16th century cadences, part 6: Gastoldi, n12

Following up on yesterday's post about wedge shapes in cadences, here are opposing cadence figures, both for 6-8. The two cadences are at beginning and end of the piece. In the first case, motion is down in both voices and is especially pronounced in the tenor. In the second case, a stream of parallel motion is interrupted in the final few beats as the tenor reaches a high note, E4, and then descends firmly by step.
