Commentary

Tiempo ni apriessa ni espacio = moderate. *E tuning gives untransposed mode. Josquin piece is transposed to g. Parody fantasia based on the 2nd Kyrie of the above work. The piece is composed by interpolating original material with material derived from the Josquin work thus: 1-12 Josquin; 13-33 Valderrabano; 34-56 Josquin; 57-105 Valderrabano; 106-120 Josquin; 120-129 Josquin? See elsewhere my study.
The material is worked in to a homogeneous & satisfying context, approaching the “rhapsodic” style described by Ward that is basically non-imitative on-going polyphony. The themes I have listed are largely points of demarcation rather than central structural elements. Sectionalization overleaf on cadential basis – end of intensity curves.
