The Mass Regali ex progenie, the magnificat "Regale," and the motet "Aeterne laudis lilium" by Fayrfax (chief composer for Henry VII and the young Henry VIII) represent the principal sacred forms in England at the turn of the sixteenth century. Fayrfax juxtaposes sections of three-voice vertical writing and of non-cadencing, contrapuntal passages, leading to unusual choral effects in five parts. His music, though retrospective in its design and rhythmic complexity, looks to the future in its massive effects drawing upon the pervading resonance of imperfect consonance.
