Over the course of his life Josquin may have produced over one hundred and fifty works; made up of nineteen masses, nine possible mass fragments, sixty one motets, three motet-chansons, sixty one chansons, and three frottole.

For the duration of this time, there was no standard notation of rhythm on the score. This changed during the 14th century when the use of mensurations began, indicating the relationship between the breve and semibreve. They can be compared to our idea of time signatures.…
