Jacobus Clemens non Papa (c. 1510 to 1515 - 1555 or 1556)

Clemens non Papa was one of the followers of Josquin who flourished the first half of the sixteenth century. While his motet writing is noted for its cool conservatism, this moving setting from Job is one of the most touching works from the middle Renaissance.
