Despite titles that would inspire music of passion, Agricola was a very 'serious' musician, his music rarely happy. Much of it is slow moving, and though the texts dictate that they must fall under the 'Secular' heading, the general mood of the music is of a religious genre. Most of the songs are written for three voices, and most are brief in duration. His ability to work in this medium is undoubted, the skill with which he weaves the voices makes for a fascinating experience.
