  Orlande de Lassus Biography - famous Orlande de Lassus Classical collection and Orlande de Lassus Music Reviews.
Lassus, also known by the Italian form of his name, Orlando di Lasso, belonged to the Franco-Flemish school of composers whose work was of supreme international importance in the 16th century.
Lassus wrote a considerable quantity of church music, including over seventy settings of the Mass, settings of the Passions from the four evangelists and a very large number of motets.
The secular vocal compositions of Lassus include madrigals, in the Italian style, some 150 French chansons and a much smaller number of German Lieder, all of great interest and forming a large body of work, including settings of Petrarch and Ariosto, Ronsard and Marot, from which selection is again invidious.

  Orlande de Lassus Summary
Lassus remained Catholic during this age of religious discord, although not dogmatically so, as may be seen from his more worldly secular songs as well as his parody Masses and Magnificats based on secular compositions.
Lassus is one of the composers of a style known as musica reservata—a term which has survived in many contemporary references, many of them seemingly contradictory.
Lassus wrote in all the prominent secular forms of the time, including Italian madrigal, French chanson and German lied: he is one of the only Renaissance composers to write prolifically in four languages (Latin, Italian, French and German), and he wrote with equal fluency in each.

 Roland de Lassus Biography | Encyclopedia of World Biography
The enormous production of the Franco-Flemish composer Roland de Lassus (1532-1594), over 1,200 works in all categories, and their extraordinarily high quality, make him one of the greatest masters of Renaissance music.
The prophecies of these ancient Sibyls suggested to Lassus a chromatic idiom atypical of his other works, but it was destined nevertheless to impress many contemporaries, particularly those at the French court of Charles IX.
Engaged as a singer in the choir directed by the composer Ludwig Daser, Lassus was advanced to court kapellmeister in a short time and was put in complete charge of all music for secular and sacred functions.

In the 16th century as today, Lassus and Palestrina were considered two sides of a coin: Palestrina the consummate technician who wrote immaculate but emotionally removed counterpoint versus Lassus the passionate artist whose music was exciting but unlikely to appear in textbooks.

 Orlande de Lassus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Orlande de Lassus (also Orlandus Lassus, Orlando di Lasso, Roland de Lassus, or Roland Delattre (1532 (possibly 1530) – June 14, 1594) was a Franco-Flemish composer of late Renaissance music.
In 1556 he joined the court of Duke Albrecht V of Bavaria, who was consciously attempting to create a musical establishment on a par with the major courts in Italy; Lassus was one of several Netherlanders to work there, and by far the most famous.
The final piece in the collection, his setting of the De profundis (Psalm 129/130), is considered by many scholars to be one of the high-water marks of Renaissance polyphony, ranking alongside the two settings of the same text by Josquin des Prez.

Today's musicologists generally hold that the legacy of Orlande de Lassus (1532-1594) shines brightest in his hundreds of secular vocal works.
Lassus straddled the worldly and spiritual realms both in the genres in which he worked and in the spirit behind many of his compositions.
Not only did he compose music for worship on the one hand and entertainment on the other, he also based liturgical works on popular music of his day using parody techniques.

Philippe Herreweghe's 1979 recording of Orlande de Lassus' motets explore the connections between Lassus' style and the highly emotive madrigals that were to follow in Monteverdi's time.
His expansive and highly colored writing utilizes invigorating rhythms, soaring harmonies, and settings that are expressly bound to the emotions of the religious texts.
There are a couple of items that remain on the wish list, though: better articulation from the singers and a less spongy recording environment.
