Description: A parody mass based on Jean Richafort's popular motet Quem dicunt homines. The Agnus Dei has been editorially supplied; in the 1532 source, the end of the Sanctus bears the inscription Agnus Dei ut supra Kyrie eleison, or "Agnus Dei as the above Kyrie eleison", implying the same music should be sung to the text of the Agnus Dei to complete the Mass.
