Josquin Desprez
Inviolata, integra et casta es Maria
A good example of Josquin's transparent use of counterpoint. The text can clearly be heard in each voice as it enters.

Tu solus, qui facis mirabilia
The unaccompanied (a cappella) homophonic sound of this piece is a common feature of Renaissance music, and a style that Josquin exploited masterfully.
