Gilet Velut

Eight compositions by Velut survive probably from the first fifteenth hundred years. The works consist of mass actions, motets, and chansons. Every one of the surviving pieces had been have scored for three voices. The secular functions are recognized by their cross-rhythms, syncopation and metrical systems in the proportion of 3:2. The motets may also be demarcated by isorhythms and interrupted rhythms for factors of emphasis. Cadences show up frequently in Velut’s functions as perform treble dominated configurations.
