jan 1, 1562 - Missa Papae Marcelli

Description:

Freedom and Constraint
1. The Missa Papae Marcelli represents an enforced style.
a. There is no cantus firmus.
b. The careful treatment of melodic line (especially control of leaps
and dissonances) created a style of composition associated with Palestrina.
c. Several parts of the Mass are homorhythmic, which allows for a
clear expression of the text.
