Description: Although nominally for four voices (Ct Ct T B), this mass is composed in short sections, most of which use various combinations of three voices. It uses as cantus firmi 'squares': monophonic mensural voices apparently drawn from the tenor parts of fifteenth-century or earlier compositions. The squares migrate between the Bass, Tenor and Second Countertenor voices.
