Packet J: Tossup 10

A piece in this genre that modulates nearly every measure, titled “Carmina chromatico,” begins the cycle Prophetiae Sibyllarum. An essay partially titled for King Solomon’s Temple disputes Charles Warren’s claim that the 6-to-4-to-2-to-3 (-5[1])ratio employed by a piece in this genre reflects Brunelleschi’s dome for the Florence cathedral. (10[3])The color (“KO-lor”) and talea make up the tenor (-5[1])line (10[1])in a variant of this originally polytextual genre. (10[1]-5[1])Philippe de Vitry (-5[1])developed (10[1])that isorhythmic (10[2])variant of this (10[1])genre, (10[1]-5[1])which is (10[1])exemplified by Guillaume Du Fay’s (10[1]-5[1])Nuper (10[1]-5[1])Rosarum (10[1]-5[1])Flores. (-5[1])Eight choirs of five voices (10[1]-5[1])are needed to perform a piece (10[1])in this genre (10[2])by Thomas Tallis, (10[1]-5[2])titled (-5[1])Spem (10[1]-5[2])in (10[1]-5[1])Alum. (10[2]-5[1])For (10[1])10 (10[1])points, Mozart’s (10[2]-5[1])Ave Verum Corpus (-5[1])is in what genre of Latin-language (-5[3])polyphony (10[1]-5[6])often contrasted (-5[1])with the madrigal?
