Summary
Chapter 13 identifies a special kind of Osanna setting that surfaces in music by Antoine Busnoys and clusters in masses by Josquin des Prez. Characterized by a kind of breathless energy, these “hurricane” Osannas are compelling on their own and as they relate to the rest of the formally tumultuous Sanctus.
