Palestrina wrote more than masses and motets, as well as madrigals, magnificats, offertories, and litanies.
The best-known work of Palestrina music is the mass entitled Missa Papae Marcelli Cum Sex Vocibus (Mass for Pope Marcellus With Six Voices). Other works include the Missa L'Home Armé (Mass Setting for 'The Armed Man') and the secular madrigal Io Son Ferito, Ahi Lasso (Alas, I Am Wounded).
