The so-called cyclic Mass of Guillaume de Machaut: new evidence for an old debate. Keitel, E., (. The musical quarterly, 68(3):307, 7, 1982.
abstract   bibtex   
The liturgical and physical evidence suggests that Machaut's Mass was either written in layers and then assembled for a specific reason, or that it was composed for a specific reason around layers that originally had a different function. It probably was compiled, perhaps with borrowings, for a celebration of the Virgin, such as the Marian feast of Notre Dame des Neiges (Nivis Mass). Machaut participated in the southern tradition of compiling a Mass from previously unrelated sections, and was not foreshadowing the more unified Mass cycles of the 15th c.
