Antoine Brumel: Missa Et ecce terrae motis (Earthquake Mass)

It is hard to think of any other piece of music quite like the 12-part 'Earthquake' Mass by Brumel. In its employment of twelve voices for almost its entire length and in its musical effects, there is nothing comparable to it in the renaissance period.
