c. Kittel supposes that everything was written disparate and put together later
d. Robinson says that Machaut made weekly mass for to be performed at the statue of the Virgin Mary
i. Intercession from the Virgin Mary;
ii. based around the Apostle Paul – the idea that the saints who have ascended will intercede
iii. the Mother Mary Is like the best one to intercede; why so many cathedrals are built too
iv. this particular mass is hard music, and would have needed professional singers
