Description: The anonymous motet "Impetum inimicorum" was printed by Attaignant in 1528. Le Heurteur used it as a model for this mass. The motet is also on CPDL. The two middle parts in the mass are low alto-parts or extremely high tenor parts. Transposing down is an option: the bottom G in the bass occurs twice: once in the Kyrie and once in the Agnus Dei. The final Agnus Dei has an extra alto/tenor part.
