"The ''Missa pro defunctis'' first appeared in a collection of masses released by Andreas de Antiquis in 1516. It must have achieved a certain amount of fame, as it appeared again in another collection, put together by Giacomo Junta in 1522. Brumel's ''Missa pro defunctis'' for four voices, a late work, is notable for being the first Requiem to include a polyphonic setting of the ''Dies Iræ''. Each movement is apparently based on a plainchant, but not all can be identified today. The unknown chants are in the ''Christe'', ''Sanctus'' and ''Agnus Dei''; the others can be found in the ''Liber Usualis''."
