 Subtonic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In music, the subtonic is the lowered seventh degree of the scale, as opposed to the leading tone.
For example, in the A minor scale (white keys on a piano), the subtonic is the note G (in C this would be Bb); and the subtonic chord uses the notes G, B, and D (in C: BbDF).
Modulation (changes of key) to the subtonic are relatively rare, compared with, say, modulation into the dominant.

 Vincent Arlettaz: Musica Ficta (IV) Doubling the subtonic (2)
The doubling of the subtonic is a technique which is consciously used by the composer to force a modal cadence; in consequence, all other cadences should comply with the rules of attraction (this is Lowinsky's hypothesis).
On the other hand, in the case of the second interpretation, he may double the subtonic, and even present the doubling note in a melodic leap, an arpeggio, a fast run, etc. This is exactly the approach taken by Franco-Flemish composers from the age of Ockeghem and Josquin up to around 1560.
If the doubled subtonic only appears with four, and more especially with five and six voices, the reason lies in the fact that it is not common practice to double the third of a triad with only three contrapuntal parts (or even with four).

 Vincent Arlettaz: Musica Ficta (IV) Doubling the subtonic (1)
For Lowinsky, as opposed to Cauchie, the exclusion of the leading note only applies to cadences with a doubled subtonic; all other cadences require the chromatic inflection necessary to ensure that the final is approached by a half-tone step.
The doubled subtonic first seems to appear in phrygian cadences, in the second half of the fifteenth century.
As for Lassus, who was educated in Italy around mid-century, he seems from the start to be unaware of the existence of the doubled subtonic, although (like Willaert) he still favours the conception of implied leading-note accidentals.
