Hans Pfitzner composed an opera about this work that ends with the composer seeing a portrait of his wife Lukrezia and playing it. That opera uses Missa Aspice Domine of this work's composer, who made infrequent use of cambiata and instead preferred a single-step transition from dissonance to consonance. This work, intended for six parts a cappella, changes to eight during the final section, which is split into two despite being an (*) Agnus Dei. This piece's historical value lies in its use at the Council of Trent that led to the preservation of polyphonic music. For 10 points, identify this mass named after a short-serving Catholic leader, the most prominent work of Giovanni Palestrina.
