Brumel's style in this Mass (and in much of his work) is primarily chordal, largely eschewing contrapuntal intricacy and making sparing use of imitation. As such, his style has more in common with the later Renaissance period as exemplified by Palestrina than the style of Ockeghem or Josquin. The Missa et Ecce Terrae Motus ("Earthquake Mass") is hence historically significant for its style, which is somewhat anticipatory of later developments and for its through-composed 12 voices that produce massive blocked chordal structures. On the whole, Brumel's music should appeal to those who enjoy the later Renaissance style; they will, no doubt, find this an interesting example of earlier large chordal music sparse in contrapuntal ideas. ~ Todd McComb, Rovi
