Longueval's most important work, the Passio Domini nostri, may have been written in Ferrara for Holy Week 1504 (Heyink), though its earliest source, a Roman manuscript copied before 1508, ascribes the motet to an unknown ‘Jo. ala venture’ (the Toledo manuscript, copied in the Low Countries about 1520–35, also gives ‘Alaventura’). Van den Borren’s suggestion that ‘à l'aventure’ is a translation of the Dutch ongeval (‘mishap’) has nothing to recommend it, as Longueval's name was not Jean and he was not from a Dutch-speaking area. Heyink’s prposal that Longueval adopted the alternative name in Italy is not supported by any evidence and is similarly unlikely because of the different Christian name. Tagmann’s suggestion that ‘Venturo detto Musini, soprano’, a singer in Mantua in 1509–10, should be identified with Longueval is falsified by the frequent designation of Longueval as ‘contrabasso’ in Ferrarese documents. It must remain possible that Longueval was not the composer of this piece, although the ascriptions to La Rue and Obrecht in later German sources are stylistically inappropriate. The motet's text is adapted from the Passion narrative according to Matthew, but incorporates passages (especially the words of Christ) from all the Gospels. The music continually varies its scoring and rhythmic and contrapuntal character (see ..\Frames/F005197.htmlPassion, ex.5); the chanted recitation tone for the Passion is often present, but even when it is not the melodic patterning is dominated by recitation on a single note. The variety and expressiveness of Longueval's Passion made a strong impression in Lutheran Germany, where it was widely disseminated and served as a model for numerous 16th-century settings by other composers.
