Real Audio - Inviolata, integra et casta es Maria
A good example of Josquin's transparent use of counterpoint. The text can clearly be heard in each voice as it enters.

Real Audio - Miserere mei, Deus
The cantus firmus intones a slow and plaintive "Lord, have mercy on me," while the other voices create a rich counterpoint around it.

Real Audio - "Tu solus, qui facis mirabilia"
The unaccompanied (a capella), homophonic sounds of this piece is a common feature of Renaissance music, and a style that Josquin exploited masterfully.
