Of the many genres of musical composition developed in historical Baroque time period the “baroque chorale”

Upon studying the Missa Caput, thought to be composed by Guillaume Dufay but will remain as “Anonymous”, one can classify it as a cantus firmus mass. Both the Anonymous composer of the Missae Caput and composer Jacob Obrecht utilize the “Caput” section of Venit Ad Petrum as the cantus firmus and basis for the Sanctus sections of their mass compositions.
