Prez composed the motet "La déploration de la mort de Johannes Ockeghem", a setting of the poem "Nymphes des bois" by Jean Molinet. An unusually large number of laments appeared after Ockeghem's death. Some of the authors of these poems included Molinet and Desiderius Erasmus; Johannes Lupi provided another musical setting.
