Topic: Parody mass

	Definition of Parody mass
		A parody mass is a mass that uses a piece of secular music, typically a fragment of a motet or chanson as part of its melodic material.
		It is distinguished from the two other prominent types of mass composition during the Renaissance, the cantus firmus mass and the paraphrase mass.
		The parody mass was a very popular model during the Renaissance: Palestrina alone wrote some 50-odd examples, and by the first half of the 16th century this style was the dominant form.

		So, as opposed to the paraphrase mass, whose model you find interspersed in a four- or five-part texture, you find the parody's influence in how the initial points of imitation, say, unfold, usually pretty exactly, so that the two works appear in their parts at first to be the same music save for different texts.
		It is with the early sixteenth century that the parody mass seems to decline.
		While mass composition would continue, the parody technique itself implies a certain disregard for the meaning of the text it sets, which becomes the very antithesis of the second practice, and so it would come to be abandoned and eventually replaced by through-composition.

		This type of mass came to be known as an 'imitation mass' or 'Parody mass' A musical setting of the five movements of the Ordinary of the Roman Catholic Mass that is unified by the presence of the entire texture of a pre-existing polyphonic work, represented by borrowed motifs and points of imitation.

		This was a parody blog in which my dog, Chester Burnette, wrote about major political issues (such as the squirrel-dominated media, the place of small dogs in the squirrel conspiracy) and more personal ones (his trips to the ranch, his trying to take care of his servants).
		My intention was to parody the blogsphere, its confusion of the intimate and public, and expressiveness and argumentation, and, especially, how bizarre the enclave arguments were.
		Parody relies on exaggeration, and I found it impossible to parody just how casuitical such arguments were.

	Philippe de Monte
		Monte is considered a master of the art of the parody mass.
		A parody mass differs from a cantus firmus mass in that, instead of using a pre-existing melody as (most frequently) a tenor, whole sections of a completed composition are incorporated into a work, occasionally without significant alteration.
		Monte frequently "develops" the subject matter from the model through changing of pitch level, overlapping one subject over another, inversion of subjects, extracting a single voice line to become the basis for a relatively large section of a mass, expanding or decreasing the number of voices for which the mass is written, and other methods.

		A "parody" Mass, it is based on Morales's motet Simile est regnum cœlorum which precedes it on this disc.
		This sixteenth-century compositional technique was a means of unifying the five movements of a Mass, which, in the context of the Catholic liturgy, were not heard in immediate succession (as on a recording) but were broken up by the standard prayers and plainchant performed in all celebrations of the Solemn High Mass.
		Not only was the technique of "parody" a means of generating new musical material from old, but it was also a way to show one's respect for another composer.

		A defrocked generally performed the Black Mass wearing vestments of fl or a color of dried blood, and embroidered with inverted crosses, a goat's head (referring to Baphomet), or magical symbols.

		Descriptions of parody procedure in Bach's era, in contrast, tend to be uncritical of it as a method but insist on a skillful application of new text to the existing music.
		Parody, allusion, and quotation are further supported with a cameo appearance of Marilyn Horne in a role that alludes to a previous character she popularized in the 1980s.
		Parody seems to be the most common trait in all of Jacquet's chansons, which are modeled after works of Certon de Villiers, Sandrin, and possibly Jannequin.

	HOASM: "Parody" Technique (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Though this new practice, termed parody, is a logical extension of the old, it actually introduces a revolutionary concept.
		Parody should not be viewed in the derogatory sense of "to make fun of," but rather simply in the sense of "to derive from." Frequently composers would take the entire musical substance of a chanson, motet, mass, or madrigal and rework it to form a piece recognizably their own.
		Parody technique, which became the standard means of Mass composition by 1540, strikingly reveals the liberal attitude taken by Renaissance composers toward preexisting music.

		The musical material that a composer used for a Mass setting might come from any one of a number of sources, but it was usually borrowed rather than invented (in contrast to later practice in the case of the symphony).
		What is interesting about this particular Mass is the way in which the text of the original song itself seems to comment on the situation that arises from the allusion not just to its music but to its text.
		One might, of course, argue that the allusion embodied in the phenomenon of the parody Mass involves music, not text: the lyrics of the original disappear in all cases and are occluded by the unvarying text of the ordinary of the Mass.

		I know a living composer who recently completed a full Mass, which he had intended form the beginning as a full cylcle, but which he composed out of order, because as he considered the texts to see what music would fit them, he perceived the music to the various clauses out of order.
		I would strongly agree that German/English/other language masses should be discussed separately of the Latin mass, since there is way too much individual variance to keep the overall content simple.
		Thus, I suggest that it is useful to use "Mass" as a category of Liturgical music of the Western Rite, and as they are developed, to include in the same category, material on the pre-reformation English uses, the Italian "operatic" settings, and the choral masses of the Church of Sweden.
