The MASS sets the six main sections of the Roman Catholic Liturgy. You must listen out for the keywords which begin each section: Kyrie (this is Greek, incidentally, unlike all the others which are Latin), Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Benedictus, Agnus Dei.
Like the ANTHEM, this is a style of work that we learn about when covering RENAISSANCE music, but it is not an exclusively RENAISSANCE one.
In this playlist, the Kyrie is from the RENAISSANCE era, the Gloria BAROQUE, Credo CLASSICAL, Sanctus ROMANTIC, Benedictus C20, with a return to the RENAISSANCE for the Agnus Dei.
