Parody

In contemporary usage, parody is a form of satire that imitates another work of art in order to ridicule it.

Musical use

In 15th- and 16th-century music, "parody" refers to a reworking of one kind of composition into another, such as turning a motet into a keyboard work; Girolamo Cavazzoni, Antonio de Cabezón, and Alonso Mudarra created keyboard parodies of Josquin motets. More commonly, a parody mass (missa parodia) used extensive quotation from other vocal works such as motets; Victoria, Palestrina, Lassus, and other notable composers of the 16th century used this technique.Also it is called as marichu chollu
