 The late "Missa de Beata Virgine" paraphrases plainchants in praise of the Virgin Mary; it is a Lady Mass, a votive mass for Saturday performance, and was his most popular mass in the 16th century.By far the most famous of Josquin's masses using the technique, and one of the most famous mass settings of the entire era, was the "Missa pange lingua", based on the hymn by Thomas Aquinas for the Vespers of Corpus Christi.It was probably the last mass that Josquin composed.
