Being dim (as usual with this thread): I don't get the jump from PMD's Worldes Blis to the Poulenc Motets.

They are both motets

[Pianorak]

Haydn: Missa in tempore belli

Britten: War Requiem

[Pulcinella]

They are both motets

Thanks: I didn't know that. Not least as the PMD piece is an orchestral work (which I now see is described as a motet for orchestra).

Just because Mars (one of the movements) is the god of war?

And Venus: the bringer of peace.
Hence war and peace, in response to the previous post.

An “association” that’s quite easy to grasp, surely?
