4.5 superbmusichub | November 10th 21

A mass based on wordplay, namely a play on the expression "Lascia fare mi" (English: "let me do it"), which was a common Italian expression at the time. Josquin converts the phrase into a motive based on solfege syllables, and that motive repeats itself over 200 times in various different forms (sometimes as-written, sometimes in retrograde, sometimes both in succession). Very mellow, with a "Credo" movement that uses a lot of minor thirds to create a somber sort of atmosphere.
