	Orlando di Lasso
		Orlando di Lasso was a dynamic, cosmopolitan and versatile Flemish composer who was influenced by styles of the French, Venetians, Germans and others, though especially the Italians.

	Orlando di Lasso
		The style of Orlando had already begun to purify itself from the speculative and chaotic elements that led Charles Burney, who seems to have known only his earlier works, to call him "a dwarf on stilts" as compared with Palestrina.
		Orlando's salary had already been guaranteed to him for life, so that his outward circumstances did not change, and the new duke was very kind to him.
		This is possibly partly due to the fact that the proportions of a musical Mass are at the mercy of the local practice of the liturgy; and that perhaps the uses of the court at Munich were not quite so favorable to broadly designed proportion (not length) as the uses of Rome.

		Orlando di Lasso (Orlandus Lassus) lived from 1532 until 1594.
		Lasso was the only practitioner (as opposed to theorists like Zarlino and Galilei) who was repeatedly cited by Kepler.
		With six planets, each taking the part of a voice, Kepler thought that the solar system produced a harmony similar to that expressed in Lasso's work - although he was emphatic that they produced no actual music.

	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.
		Along with Palestrina he is today considered to be the chief representative of the mature polyphonic style of the Franco-Flemish School, and he was the most famous and influential musician in Europe at the end of the 16th century.
		In his madrigals, many of which he wrote during his stay in Rome, his style is clear and concise, and he wrote tunes which were easily memorable; he also "signed" his work by frequently using the word 'lasso' (and often setting with the sol-fege syllables la-sol, i.e.

	Crook, D.: Orlando di Lasso's Imitation Magnificats for Counter-Reformation Munich.
		After the Mass Ordinary, the Magnificat was the liturgical text most frequently set by Renaissance composers, and Orlando di Lasso's 101 polyphonic settings form the largest and most varied repertory of Magnificats in the history of European music.
		In a section on compositional procedure, Crook explains that Lasso abandoned the traditional eight psalm-tone melodies in his imitation Magnificats, considers the new ways he found to represent the tones, and describes how Lasso's experimentation reflected the complex relationship between mode and tone in Renaissance theory and practice.
		Arguing that Lasso's varied uses of preexistent music defy current definitions of parody technique, Crook, in his final chapter, reveals the imitation Magnificats as vastly more imaginative and innovative than previous characterizations suggest.

		When not in use, the lasso, called rope in the West, is coiled at the right of the saddle in front of the rider.
		When an animal is to be caught the herder, galloping after it, swings the coiled lasso round his head and casts it straight forward in such a manner that the noose settles over the head or round the legs of the quarry, when it is speedily brought into submission.

		His compositional output was enormous, and his religious song cycles were rare in their dramatic form and structure.
		Rather than piecing together liturgy, Lasso’s song texts were connected to form a logical unit, a technique unusual for the time and musical genre.

		Though he disclaims skill in composition or performance, Kepler had a musical education and refers repeatedly to Orlando di Lasso, especially the motet “In me transierunt.” Kepler connects contemporary polyphony with his attempt to notate the songs of the planets according to heliocentric astronomy.
		Lasso had pride of place in their library, followed by other masters of the Renaissance.
		Perhaps Lasso’s motet fell short of the challenge by having five voices, not the requisite six.

	Embellishments 1: Complete Motets of Orlando di Lasso
		A new edition of the motets of Orlando di Lasso (1530/2-1594) has begun to appear within the A-R Editions series Recent Researches in the Music of the Renaissance, with Peter Bergquist as general editor, in collaboration with James Erb and David Crook.
		Almost all of the first editions of Lasso's motets can be shown to have been issued with his involvement and permission, and first editions will be the primary sources for CM.
		CM 20 will include fourteen of Orlando's motets first published by his sons Ferdinand and Rudolph in 1597 and 1601 respectively, together with the sons' motets that appeared in the same books, and CM 21 will publish those posthumous motets transmitted only in Magnum Opus Musicum.

		Although there are several other recordings of this set of "religious madrigals" (as Orlando di Lasso himself called these settings of texts by the Italian poet Luigi Tansillo), this one seems to most satisfyingly capture both the abundantly rich sonorities and the ardent and surprisingly consoling mood of Lasso's music.
		Lasso's seven-part scoring affords many opportunites for antiphonal effects--and several of the stanzas are reminiscent of more familiar works in this vein by Giovanni Gabrieli--but it also allows for an incredible sumptuousness of harmony and variety of color.
		And the overall impact is enhanced by this ensemble's decision to add gambas, a couple of winds (flute and bassoon), and an occasional organ to the mix.

		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.
		He was born at Mons, in Hainaut, in 1532, and as a boy entered the service of a member of the Gonzaga family, hereditary dukes of Mantua.
		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.
