There's a recording of it reviewed by Classics Today with a bit of information on it. It seems its official name is the Peterhouse Mass.

Thanks - I'm listening now. And of course, I booked a seat at the concert!

Which turned out to be an enjoyable hour -- it's going to be broadcast and streamed. The high point for me was the Tallis lamentation and a piece by Byrd which was very contrapuntal. The Tye mass was certainly interesting in the Gloria and Sanctus. Cinquecento are the sort of singers who've thought hard about how to present their music, the focus is on sound and not on meaning. They are Bildungsbuergertum.

At least organized/ordered sound, what we call music today. The music or sound can be helpful in freeing the meaning from its dogmatic corset, although the mind will tend to return it to a limited, comprehensible concept.
It is the gravity of our conditioning.
Happy are we when the curtain is drawn back and the doors of perception open and give us glimpses beyond conception.

We cannot grasp the essence of things but we can be part of it.(in moments)

Good quention,I'm afraid that we are moving into too rarefied realms. What I am trying to say is that what we can experience may be more than what words indicate.
