Though Grove Music does not mention this work specifically, it does mention polychoral music; "A characteristic feature is the principle, inherited from Palestrina and the Venetian school, of interlocking blocks of choral sound, sometimes polyphonic, sometimes homophonic. The various choirs, usually in four parts, are to be placed far apart, alternate during imitative sections, whether short or long, and then reunite. Each choir is a self-contained musical entity, and a work for four choirs, for example, is thus in 16 real parts." This mass is thus for four choirs as opposed to one choir with 4 sopranos 4 altos, etc.
