	Orlando di Lasso (Composer) - Short Biography
		Orlando di Lasso [Orlande de Lassus, Orlandus Lassus, Roland de Lassus, Roland Delattre, Roland de Lattre] was a Franco-Flemish composer of the late Renaissance.
		Orlando di Lasso was to remain in the service of Albrecht V and his heir, Wilhelm V, for the rest of his life.
		Orlando di Lasso 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.

	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.

		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.
		He was equally adept in the polyphonic style that dominated European church music of the time and in the newer secular styles developing in Germany, France, and Italy.
		Lasso published his music extensively during his lifetime (a mark of his stature in that first century of printing) and left more than 2000 compositions.

	Music - Orlando Di Lasso
		Orlando di Lasso (or Orlandus Lassus) is the greatest representative of the Flemish School.
		Singing a motet of Lasso, the choir and the church dignitaries proceeded, when, on approaching the porch, the storm ceased, they were able to pass out into the open, and the ceremonies were carried through as in other years.
		This gave Lasso the status, amongst his fellow towns-men, of a divinely favoured being, and his motet that of a valuable storm-stopper, in which capacity it was subsequently used, though with what results history does not record.

		Rare for Lasso, the mass is for double chorus mass, supporting the speculation that Lasso may have studied with Giovanni Gabrieli, who was also in Munich then.
		In our research for "Music of Orlando di Lasso," we also found the composer listed as Orlando di Laßo, Orlande de Lassus, Roland de Lassus, and Orlando Lasso, born in 1532 in Mons, a town in the Franco-Flemish principality of Hainaut, in present-day Belgium.
		To me he seemed Orlando Curioso, since not much is known about his parents or his early life, except the unsubstantiated legend that he was thrice abducted because of the beauty of his treble voice.

		Orlando di Lasso and his contemporaries -- Guillaume Dufay, Estienne Dutertre, Clemens non Papa, Philippe Rogier, Adriaan Willaert, Nicolas Gombert, Philippus de Monte, Johannes Ciconia and Antoine de FÈvin
		For Renaissance composers and musicians, Orlando di Lasso (or Lassus) (1532-1594) was a major source of influence and inspiration.
		Besides some wonderful motets by di Lasso, there is much to admire -- the emphasis on line in Rogier's sublime Respice in me, the dark Ave Maria of Clemens non Papa, the organum forming the basis for Dufay's Tibi, Christe, and the intensity of Gombert's moving Ave Maria.

	The New York Review of Books: Light on Lasso
		Orlando di Lasso Volume I: Sein Leben Volume II: Briefe
		Of the great composers in the second half of the sixteenth century, Orlando di Lasso had the widest range and the most complex personality, so far as the latter is possible to determine about anyone who lived before the advent of the fully documented modern biography.
		Comparing Lasso's setting of a Petrarch sonnet with that of another composer, Einstein deduced that since Lasso's version contains only two-thirds as many measures, he must have been 'impatient.'
