Welcome back to another episode of Season 2 of Between the Barlines! Today is our first music theory Friday of the season! Today we are going to finish talking about masses for a while and address a specific foundational practice that was used during the Renaissance period: creating masses based off of borrowed materials. I began to mention a few of these several episodes ago, but I thought it would be good to have them all in one place where we could easily dissect the differences among the varying masses.
