Our next concert is May 2020, where we'll be performing this piece of music. I've uploaded this and other learning tracks predominantly for my choir's usage, but I hope any others who struggle to learn in their own rehearsals will find this useful. Please let me know of any mistakes!
Lotti is most known for his settings of Crucifixus for six, eight, and ten voices, despite a vast career spanning decades where he composed over one hundred works and nearly two dozen operas. The particular charm of this setting is the pathos granted by the sustained and repeated tension created by the different voice parts clashing and resolving throughout.

Original Latin
Crucifixus etiam pro nobis;
sub Pontio Pilato passus
et sepultus est.
Translation:
He was even crucified for us;
under Pontius Pilate he suffered
and was buried.
