General Information
Title: Missa Impetum
Composer: Guillaume Le Heurteur
Lyricist:
Number of voices: 4-5vv Voicing: SAABar
Genre: Sacred, Mass
Language: Latin
Instruments: A cappella
First published: 1532 in Viginti missarum musicalium (Pierre Attaingnant), Volume 7, no. 2
Description: The motet "Impetum inimicorum" was printed by Attaignant in 1528. All pieces in that source are anonymous; in another source this motet is ascribed to Claudin de Sermisy. Le Heurteur used it as a model for this mass. The motet is also on CPDL. The two middle parts in the mass are low alto-parts or extremely high tenor parts. Transposing down is an option: the bottom G in the bass occurs twice: once in the Kyrie and once in the Agnus Dei. The final Agnus Dei has an extra alto/tenor part.
