Hocket, from the French "hoquet" meaning 'hiccup'. This is the rythmic phenomenon in which to voices alternate in rapid succession, each resting while the other sings. This gives the effect, somewhat, of 'skipping' or small leaps into the air. The note value of each voice as it alternates, is sometimes less than a semi-quaver at Allegro .

I could be mistaken but “hocket” is how the French refer to a female ice hockey player.



Regardless, the video and the chapel itself are profoundly beautiful in their simplicity. Pax tecum.

Golly! I don't know what a hocket is! I'm not one of the polyphonists; I leave the complicated stuff to the experts.

Beautiful! The hockets in the Sanctus were expertly executed!
