The 'cyclic' polyphonic Mass has long been seen as the pre-eminent
musical genre of the late Middle Ages, spawning some of the most
impressive and engrossing musical edifices of the period. Modern
study of these compositions has greatly enhanced our appreciation
of their construction and aesthetic appeal. Yet close consideration
of their meaning - cultural, social, spiritual, personal - for
their composers and original users has begun only much more
recently. This book considers the genre both as an expression of
the needs of the society in which it arose and as a fulfilment of
aesthetic priorities that arose in the wake of the Enlightenment.
From this dual perspective, it aims to enhance both our
appreciation of the genre for today's world, and our awareness of
what it is that makes any cultural artefact endure: its
susceptibility to fulfil the different evaluative criteria, and
social needs, of different times.
