Taverner and Tye are the predominant influences in these works. The 6-part Mass Cantate is taken from the Oxford partbooks. The source for The Western Wind Mass, The Frences Mass, the Mass Be not afraid , and the Plainsong Mass for a Mean, all in four parts, is the so-called 'Gyffard' partbooks (British Library Add. MSS 17802-5), which are now known to have been copied after ElizabethAs accession for a Catholic patron, Dr Philip Gyffard, Fellow of Merton College, Oxford.

Although one of the more active early composers for the Anglican rite, Tye also wrote vocal works on Latin texts, including choral hymns and responds, and some settings of the Ordinary of the Mass. His Western Wind Mass and Mean Mass probably date from before 1540, but the Mass Euge bone belongs stylistically to a later date, and was possibly written with some special purpose in mind after the death of Henry VIII.
