Abstract

This work consists in analysis of the mensural elaborations and aspects of motivic periodicity present in the Agnus Dei from the Missa L’homme Armé Super Voces Musicales by Josquin Desprez. The analysis is based from the appointments on mensuration-canons made by Glareanus (Dodechocordon, 1547), Bellermann (Mensuralnoten Taktzeichen und des XV. Und XVI. Jahrhunderts, 1906), Apel (The Notation of Polyphonic Music 900-1600, 1949) through of concepts of ‘Motivicity’ by Joshua Rifkin and ‘Agrupamentos Sonoros Plenos’ by Marcos Pupo Nogueira, elucidating characteristics of compositional strategies used by the composer.
