There are eighteen plainchant settings of the ordinary of the Mass (kyriales), sixteen of which have specific names.

Perhaps the most well-known name is Missa de Angelis, which is Mass VIII; the most used setting is probably the “Missa Simplex” which is assembled from parts of Masses XVI, XV and XVIII. Mass XVIII has the name Deus Genitor alme.

I’m aware that polyphonic settings of the Mass texts can be based on other tunes and inherit their names, for example the Western Wynde Mass of John TavernerWestern Wynde Mass of John Taverner or the Missa Salve Regina of VictoriaMissa Salve Regina of Victoria.

I haven’t been able to find a source for the names of the plainchant Masses. Wikipedia mentions that the names are inherited from the “opening of the prosula formerly sung to each respective Kyrie melody,” but the page has the incipit of Kyrie XI and it’s difficult to see how the words “Orbis factor” fit. And there is no information about what these prosulae actually are and where to find them.

Is there any light to be shed here, or is it all shrouded in the mists of time?
