Question

A lyric requesting protection from the “murderous rage” of Turks and these people is often removed from modern versions of the hymn “Erhalt uns, Herr, bei deinem Wort.” To open a work titled for one of these people, each voice leaps up a perfect fourth and descends in a stepwise fashion. A work titled for one of these people splits the text of the Agnus Dei into two movements. A genre named for one of these people was modified by adding an improvised vox organalis to the vox principalis to create works (10[1])called organum. Legendarily, a ban on polyphony was averted (10[1])by the composition of a mass (10[1])titled (10[1])for a (10[1])man (10[1])with this position, Marcellus II, by Giovanni Palestrina. (10[1])For 10 points, name this position held by the namesake of a form of monophonic chant, (-5[1])Gregory I. (10[1])■END■

ANSWER: Pope [accept bishop of Rome; accept supreme pontiff or Roman pontiff or sovereign pontiff; accept Pontifex maximus; accept Pope Marcellus Mass; accept Missa Papae Marcelli]
