To return, in conclusion, to strictly historical and “dynastic” matters, it is absorbing to ponder the intricate relationships of homage that obtained among composers of cyclic Masses. Among the L’Homme Armé Masses that reproduce the moment from Busnoys’s Sanctus depicted in Ex. 12-15a is one by Du Fay, the oldest and most distinguished composer to have joined the game. The corresponding passage in his Mass occurs near the end of the Credo (Ex. 12-16), and it is especially close to Busnoys’s allowing for the speedy diminished note-values that one usually finds near the climaxes of large cyclic Mass sections.
