Palestrina
Palestrina's Pope Marcellus Mass has SIX VOCAL PARTS, whereas Josquin's Ave Maria Motet has only 4. The Palestrina "sounds fuller" because it is.... by 2 whole voice parts. SATTBB versus SATB. Good question!

Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina
Giovanni Palestrina was an excellent organist, but performed in choirs.
It was written by Palestrina during the renaissance so it would be between 1450-1600, closer to the early 1500's i believe about 1525.
Palestrina was an Italian composer known for his sacred music, particularly his masses and motets composed for the Catholic Church. He is credited with helping to develop the style of polyphonic music that became prominent during the Renaissance period. His compositions were often performed during church services and continue to be studied and admired for their beauty and complexity.
