{{Descr|An anonymous mass from BSBMus.ms. 6, an Alamire choirbook from the first quarter of the 16th century. It has an attribution to Josquin, which is not taken seriously. The choirbook was one of the representative musical manuscripts donated to Duke Wilhelm IV of Bavaria (1508-1550). The mass is based on the Magnificat antiphon Veni Sancte Spiritus; see info at the end of the pdf.
Some remarks about required corrections are written in the score. Musicologist Joep van Buchem kindly clarified some notational difficulties in the Osanna with altered semibreves in ligatures. He also came up with the source material for the mass, which I hadn’t been able to find.
