Missa Caput
The Missa Caput is a cyclic mass setting employing as a tenor cantus firmus the closing melisma on the word "caput" or "head" from the foot-washing antiphon Venit ad Petrum. The earliest such mass is attributed to Guillaume Du Fay (c.1400 – 1474) in the Trent Codices, but since the discovery of fragmentary English sources it has been accepted as the work of an anonymous English composer of the 1440's.
