Music sheet of the mass by de Monte

Philipp de Monte's (1521 Mecheln/Flandern - 1603 Prag/Bohemia) Missa sex vocum (Mass for six voices) has survived in Codex 148 of the Municipal Library in Nuremberg/Germany. Monte adapts some of the themes in Palestrina's madrigal Vestiva i colli in this mass, which is why it has its title

The beginning of the theme is identical in both compositions except that de Monte augments (stretches; expands) the note values. (E. Stadler)
