    Are there polyphonic Masses with fewer than 4 voices?

    Byrd's Mass for Three Voices is probably the one known best around here.

    One notes that one, Robert Fuhrer, wrote a Ruralmesse.
    Um, is there, perchance, a corresponding Urbanmesse???

    Detroit might have more polyphonic Masses sung per Sunday than any other city in the US.
