"The Ave Maria" by Josquin des Prez is not part of the Mass Ordinary; instead, it is a setting of the "Hail Mary" and is categorized as a motet. The Mass Ordinary consists of the fixed parts of the Mass, such as the Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei. While Josquin's work reflects the sacred context of the Mass, it serves a different liturgical function than the Ordinary.
