Why did the Portuguese composer Manuel Cardoso give the title ‘Paradisi portas’ (’The Gates of Paradise’) to the six-voice Mass which he placed at the beginning of his second book of Masses, published in 1636? These two words evoked for contemporary hearers the text of a responsory sung at Matins during the first week in Lent: ‘Paradisi portas aperuit nobis jejunii tempus…’ (translated above). But Cardoso cannot have intended his Mass to be sung on that day, or indeed during Lent at all, since he included within it a setting of the Gloria, a text omitted at Mass throughout Lent until Easter Day.
