The presence of such an elaborate and finely-wrought keyboard part in the present piece is notable. It incorporates varied textures and moods, including staccato repeated notes, broken octaves, arpeggios, doubling of the voice, rapid scales, and folkloric, characteristically Iberian syncopated rhythms. More often than not, the keyboard complements the vocal part with contrasting material, rather than simply amplifying it with chordal accompaniment. The Benigne fac Domine employs a harmonic progression that will be familiar to those who have heard Pergolesi's iconic Stabat Mater; the appearance of this progression may be a nod to the celebrated Pergolesi.
