Gloria, Apt 8 - Chassa

📄

Preview not generated yet

"A composition in ‘simultaneous style’, it is predominantly syllabic and is the simplest of the Glorias in the Apt Manuscript. The piece is for two low voices which run principally in contrary motion, a feature that is found in hardly any of the Avignon mass sections in the manuscript. These traits are characteristic of an old-fashioned style, perhaps reflecting the practice of cantus planus binatim, harmonising plainchant note-for-note, likewise the presence of text for both voices, the textless interludes and perhaps also the parallel 5ths in the final Amen."
