    surely everything Nanino wrote is in public domain (?)

    I'd like to have his "Adoramus Te Christe", but do not find it in the usual public resources. Any ideas?

    I agree - I was unable to locate this for free. I did see something available for purchase ($6 per - min 5 copies), written for SSATB. It is the 2nd of the two options (the first is Lassus): https://www.greatscores.com/Adoramus_Te_Christe/sheet-music/3888277

    IMSLP looked promising for a moment, but was not to be.

    Said link is for the Chester Motet Book - one of them for five voices. Such books typically contain 5-8 individual pieces for about $20 apiece.

    Incardination - thanks for your reply! I didn't find it on IMSLP either.

    SSATB is unfortunately beyond our little choir. The piece is lovely, however. Gloriae Dei Cantores recorded it on their CD, "Masters of the Renaissance".

    Adoramus te is on p. 288 of the 2nd volume of Msgr. Richard Joseph Schuler's dissertation _The Life and Works of Giovanni Maria Nanino_ (PhD, University of Minnesota 1963) along with other goodies, including a number of 3-voice pieces. The manuscript notation isn't beautiful, but it's functional. You can get this for a fee via ProQuest in Ann Arbor in various forms, or borrow it from a library that's holding it.
