:'''Edition notes:''' Note values are halved, but I changed the "cut time" time signature to "C", as the values were already quite short in this movement. I decided, however, to halve them, as I thought it would look odd in contrast to the other movements. This movement is also written at a higher pitch level than the previous movements, perhaps Brumel was employing a bit of word painting!

General Information

Title: Missa Pro Defunctis
Composer: Antoine Brumel

Number of voices: 4vv   Voicing: ATTB

Genre: SacredRequiem

Language: Latin
Instruments: a cappella
Published:

Description: The Missa pro defunctis first appeared in a collection of masses released by Andreas de Antiquis in 1519. 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.
