Packet 7: Tossup 20

The Belgian city of Tournai names one of these works compiled from several different composers, predating the earliest surviving complete one of these works by Guillaume de Machaut. (15[2])A cantus (15[1])firmus (15[1])formed the basis for the “cyclic” style of these works. (15[1])Apocryphally, to convince the Council of Trent (15[1])not to ban polyphony, (15[1])(*) Giovanni (10[1])da (10[1])Palestrina (-5[1])composed one of these (10[1])works named for Pope Marcellus. Early works in this genre were performed (10[1])in Gregorian chant and included the hymn “Gloria in excelsis Deo.” (-5[1])For 10 points, name these musical works that arrange Catholic (-5[1])liturgy (10[2])for choir. ■END■ (0[6])
