    The "armed man" in the tune L'Homme Armé on which the Mass by Fr. Dufay is based has been thought by some to represent St. Michael. I start the thread in consideration of his feast today.

    The tune may also have to do with the fall of Constantinople in 1453.

    "Non nobis, Domine, non nobis; sed nomini tuo da gloriam..." (Ps. 113:9)
