The beautiful Requiem of Jacobus Clemens non Papa demonstrates the range of the composer's typical styles, containing sections written in imitative counterpoint, straight homophony, and the sort of lightly decorated homophony which was to become a hallmark of Lassus' writing. Palestrina's mass is based on his own setting of the Lauda Sion sequence.
