Prioris published a fine requiem which skilfully paraphrases the traditional plainsongs, and also composed attractive chansons and motets.
Requiem / Missa pro defunctis à quator vocibus by Johannes Prioris contains:
- Introitus: Requiem
- Kyrie
- Graduale: Si ambulem
- Offertorium: Domine Jesu Christe
- Sanctus
- Benedictus
- Agnus Dei
- Communio: Lux aeterna
The music of Johannes Prioris showing us clear the composer was able combining Flemish polyphony of the Low countries with both Italian and French influences. The Missa pro defunctis of Prioris was very popular proving it was published twice by Attaignant in 1532 and 1533. Large number of his compositions are still present in the Vatican Library. The high point of this Missa pro defunctis can be found in the "Agnus Dei". Prioris uses well-timed harmonic expression underlining the deep sorrow felt upon the death of those who are dear and were near to us. Of course this is from all times!
