Explanation:

Josquin des Prez was a master of word painting. Word painting (also known as tone painting or text painting) is a musical technique where the music reflects the literal meaning of a text. For example, if the text mentions "ascending to heaven," the melody might rise in pitch. Monody is a solo vocal style with instrumental accompaniment that became prominent later (Baroque era). Syncopation is a rhythmic technique (emphasizing off - beats). Ars nova was a 14th - century musical style.

Answer:

word painting
