Clemens non Papa is later than Ockeghem & even Josquin (mid-to-late-16th c.) Nobody's sure why he's called "Jacob Clemens not-the-pope" because Pope Clement died well before any of his music was published. Some kind of inside joke long forgotten, I suppose.

He's mostly known for having written a scurrilous chanson which got Orlando di Lasso (an even later composer - right at the end of the 16th c) into a spot of trouble with his bishop for writing a Mass based on it - he didn't even trouble to disguise the melody at all.

You decide for yourself - but you'll have to look up the words, I won't put them here :-)

Chanson "Entre vous filles"

Mass "Entre vous filles"

Clever. Maybe a little naughty.
