 The first of two settings of the "Miserere", "Miserere mei deus", based on a collection of diverse psalm verses and stylistically reminiscent of Josquin's "Miserere" setting, exists in an Italian source copied around 1520, and thus was probably composed in Ferrara.The other, "Miserere mei domine", is based on Psalm 6, and again is reminiscent of Josquin's setting, which itself was composed in Ferrara two decades earlier.Later in his life Hellinck wrote 11 German chorale settings in a motet style.
