That work, "El Grillo," is often read as a reference to the sexual prowess of a colleague of this man, the papal singer Carlo Grillo. Â A possible student of Johannes Ockeghem, he imitated Ockeghem's contrapuntal style in a work which laments his death, Nymphes des Bois. A notable work of his eschews the traditional cantus firmus format, placing the melody throughout the polyphony instead of just in the tenor, but he may be best known for (*) two parody masses both based on the same secular tune about a military man who "should be feared". For ten points, identify this Franco-Flemish composer who predated Giovanni Palestrina, and wrote the Missa Pange Lingua and Missa L'homme armÃ©.
