Question

Henry Suso’s Horologium Sapientiae is suggested as an intertext for 17 of this composer’s motets in a book by Anne Walters Robertson. An arrangement of a piece by this composer is the first track on Kronos Quartet’s album Early Music. A three-voice song by this composer, whose upper two voices are retrogrades of each other and whose bottom voice (10[1])is a palindrome, has lyrics declaring that its “third melody three times only / Reverses itself.” The title hiccup-like rhythm is used in this composer’s “Hoquetus (10[1])David (“hoh-KWET-ooss DAH-veed”).” This composer of a rondeau translated as “My end is my beginning” (10[1])and the virelai “Douce dame jolie (“dooss dahm zhoh-LEE”)” may have been inspired by the Tournai Mass in creating the first setting of the ordinary of the Mass (10[1])by a single composer. For 10 points, name this 14th-century French composer of the Messe de (10[1])Nostre (10[2]-5[1])Dame. (10[1])■END■ (10[5]0[14])
