 Another mass using this technique is the "Missa La sol fa re mi", based on the musical syllables contained in "Lascia fare mi" ("let me do it").The story, as told by Glareanus in 1547, was that an unknown aristocrat used to order suitors away with this phrase, and Josquin immediately wrote an "exceedingly elegant" mass on it as a jab at him.Canonic masses came into increasing prominence in the latter part of the 15th century.
