"Although nominally for four voices (Ct Ct T B), this mass is composed in short sections, most of which use various combinations of three voices. It uses as cantus firmi 'squares': monophonic mensural voices apparently drawn from the tenor parts of fifteenth-century or earlier compositions. The squares migrate between all four voices, but always in the bass register, resulting in some extraordinarily wide voice compasses."
