With Byrd and Lassus, he ranks among the greatest composers of the last sixteenth century and a study of his work is essential for serious students and scholars.\u003cbr\u003eThis volume contains six masses by the composer, as well as a selection of motets. Certain of the masses are \"parody\" masses, i.e. they are based on a motet or other works by Palestrina or another composer. In such cases, the original motet, or chant, has also been included here. The six masses are: \u003ci\u003eMissa Papae Marcelli\u003c\/i\u003e (his most famous), \u003ci\u003eMissa L'Homme Armé\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMissa O Magnum Mysterian\u003c\/i\u003e (plus motet), \u003ci\u003eMissa Ave Regina Coelorum\u003c\/i\u003e (plus chant), \u003ci\u003eMissa Veni Sponsa Christi\u003c\/i\u003e (plus motet), and \u003ci\u003eMissa Ascendo ad Patrem\u003c\/i\u003e (plus motet). Written for unaccompanied voices, these compositions rank among the finest works of a towering figure in early music. In this inexpensive, authoritative edition, they will be welcomed by all students and lovers of sacred music.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46312242741399,"sku":"9780486276311","price":2235.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780486276311.webp?v=1767704616","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/masses-and-motets-9780486276311","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
