By means of an analysis of the Missa de Dringhs this article aims to highlight Brumel’s coherence in the treatment of his polyphonic model — the chanson Tous les regretz by Brumel himself — throughout the various sections of the Mass. The analysis shows that the chanson’s complex polyphonic texture and cadence plan are followed sentence by sentence. Brumel’s reworking of his model makes this mass quite innovative within the panorama of contemporary sacred music.
