Philippe Verdelot (c.1470/80-c.1552) was born in southern France
apparently with the surname Deslouges, and came to Italy early in
the 16th century. He spent most of his career in and around Florence
and Rome. In many ways, he can be considered the Florentine analog
of Willaert.
The present mass is based on the 4-voice motet Philomena
Prævia of Jean Richafort (c.1480-c.1547)
printed in 1521, and also used as a model by
Gombert. This is Verdelot's only printed
mass (Venice, 1544), although a Missa Gloria del Dixit Dominus
survives in manuscript. The present performance intersperses some
of Verdelot's motets to create a full liturgical interpretation.
