1. Guillaume Du Fay composed his Missa Se la face ay pale based on his ballade of the same name during his time at the Court of Savoy from 1452 to 1458.

Dufay's Se la face ay pale and missa se la face ay pale
-Guillaume Du Fay composed his Missa Se la face ay pale, based on his ballade of the same name, during his final sojourn at the Court of Savoy in Chambry from 1452 to 1458. What prompted Du Fay to use this song in his Missa Se la face ay pale? This article proposes that an important Christological relic, the Holy Shroud, acquired by Du Fay's patron Duke Louis of Savoy in 1453 (and not moved from Chambry to its present location in Turin until 1578), lies at the heart of the work, and that the composer incorporated theological symbols in the Mass to associate it with this sacred remnant. Recognition of early Christ-Masses such as the Missa Se la face ay pale helps to redefine the word "devotional" and illuminates the beginnings of Mass composition with secular tunes and of emotional expression in sacred music. 2. Josquin Mille Regretz -he chanson was said to be the favorite by king charles I of Spain -This chanson is sometimes disputed to be his work 3. WILLIAM BYRD LACHRYMAE -This famous piece started out as a solo lute pavan by John Dowland some time before 1595, and has been arranged by several other artists/ interesting feature: upon hearing the piece, I initially thought that it is a Spanish dance, because of its "aggressive" passages, but surprisingly, I discovered that it is of Italian origin. The piece also successfully justified its title Lachrymae (tears) with its melody provoking a feeling of melancholy 4. Palestrina Pope Marcellus Mass -composed by Palestrina as per the order of the council of trent that he make a mass that is not polyphonic, hence this mass, because there have been complaints that polyphonic music obscured the words of the mass, interfering with the listener's devotion -
5. Victoria Magnum Mysterium
-Composer and organist Toms Luis de Victoria was born in the walled city of vila, birthplace of the influential Spanish mystic Teresa of vila (1515-1582). Like many of his contemporaries, Victoria ventured to Rome at an early age to learn his art. It has been speculated that he received some training from the great Italian master Palestrina; Victoria was certainly one of the few composers in Rome able to master the subtleties of Palestrina's style. In 1575, he was ordained into the priesthood, but he continued to compose throughout his life, holding a variety of posts in Italy and, from 1587 until his death, his native Spain. The justly famous motet O magnum mysterium uses a sublime text from the Christmas Vespers. Victoria's use of a serenely interweaving polyphony at the opening bars leads to a hushed chordal declamation at the words "O beata Virgo." An extended "Alleluia" section, first in triple meter, then in duple, concludes the motet. -the first few phrases usually end in a single note by the bass -the piece is polyphonic
