Editing Carpentras (composer) (section)

==Works==
Carpentras composed several [[mass (music)|mass]]es, numerous settings of the [[Magnificat]], [[psalm]] settings, [[hymn]]s, [[motet]]s, and secular songs, as well as many settings of the Lamentations, which were his most famous work both during his lifetime and until 1587 when [[Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina|Palestrina]] was commissioned by the [[Counter-Reformation]] church to replace them.  Stylistically, his music is typical of the generation after [[Josquin Desprez|Josquin]], smoothly [[polyphonic]] with pervasive [[imitation (music)|imitation]].  Carpentras alternates points of imitation with [[Homophony|homophonic]] sections, especially in his settings of the Lamentations.
