 One of the earliest masses based on the famous tune "L'homme armé" is by Caron, and survives in an early 1460s Vatican manuscript along with "L'homme armé" masses by several other composers.In Caron's setting the tune is transposed to Dorian mode and elaborated considerably; the upper voices often sing in two-part imitation.Most of his secular songs were in French, and for three voices, and most survive from Italian manuscripts.
