This man's life was dramatized in a namesake opera by Hans Pfitzner. While his masses are mostly in groups such as the nine Mantuan ones or the "parodies," he also composed a few "free-style," including the four-voice Missa brevis. Twenty-nine of this motets are based on the Song of Solomon, and his Vatican portrait shows him holding the score to his motet Accepit Jesus calicem. This composer of 105 masses and 250 motets also created a work that demonstrated the possibilities of music conforming to the Council of Trent's guidelines. For 10 points, name this sixteenth-century Italian composer of the Pope Marcellus Mass.
