By: Josquin Desprez
Form: Ternary
Stylistic period: Renaissance
This is a piece with a sacred vocal timbre that has an embellished melody with a wide pitch range. It has a full harmony in which both the main lines of men and women intertwine perfectly with each other at all times. The dynamics begin at piano and gradually crescendo up to forte with a strong male base. It has a polyphonic texture and the rhythm is slow with a moderate increase, barely noticeable as well as repetitive. Two characteristics that are represented from the renaissance is that its a sacred vocal piece and that the rhythm is a gentle flow rather than a sharply defined beat.
