The Missa Pange Lingua is believed to be Josquin's last setting, and has become his most popular today. It is, in many ways, his closest to the plainchant on which it is based, showing less artifice than some settings and a general gravity. It is overwhelmingly in four parts, with some duet sections which have become justifiably famous. The overall emphasis on homophonic texture rather than more freely ranging polyphony also serves to make this mass evocative of the later developments of Palestrina et al.

The present notes suggest that Josquin's real family name may have been Lebloitte, an interesting suggestion, and certainly one reason we tend to favor the "Josquin" name in designating the composer. Track #12 is a questionable attribution.

This recordings marks the fifth in a planned complete cycle of Josquin's masses by the present ensemble. One notable feature of the cycle is that different issues have featured different supporting casts and consequently sonorities.
