Parce Domine - Obrecht
Here is the "Parce Domine," written by Jacob Obrecht in the 15th century. He uses the traditional Gregorian melody, but compliments it with renaissance influences. I think you will enjoy it. The text is based on the Book of Joel.

To Bishop Clark, From His Humble Servants:
"Prince of degredations, bought and sold,
These verses, written in your crumbling sty,
Proclaim the faith that I have held and hold,
And publish that in which I mean to die."
These verses, written in your crumbling sty,
Proclaim the faith that I have held and hold,
And publish that in which I mean to die."
