 Few composers prior to Josquin had written polyphonic psalm settings.Some of Josquin's settings include the famous "Miserere", written in Ferrara in 1503 or 1504 and most likely inspired by the recent execution of the reformist monk Girolamo Savonarola, "Memor esto verbi tui", based on Psalm 119, and two settings of "De profundis" (Psalm 130), both of which are often considered to be among his most significant accomplishments.In the domain of secular music, Josquin left numerous French chansons, for from three to six voices, as well as a handful of Italian secular songs known as frottole, as well as some pieces which were probably intended for instrumental performance.
