	HOASM: Orlandus Lassus and Catholic Polyphony in late 16th Century Germany

		Lassus remained at the Bavarian court, except for occasional trips abroad, until his death in 1594.
		His motets show, besides evidence of a careful study of Lassus, the clarity of structure, careful voiceleading, and concern for beauty of sound that are among the traits of the Roman style.

	Classical Net Review - Lassus/Palestrina - Masses
		Lassus' vocal lines, by contrast, are shorter, more nervous; phrases are apt to be repeated, giving the music a feeling of kaleidoscopic colour.
		Lassus' tendency to repeat lines, coupled with the dancing lilt that so often illuminates his textures, frequently gives a touching, folk-like innocence to the music - listen to how he plays with the words 'Hosannah in excelsis' in the Sanctus of the Missa Entre vous Filles.
		And though Palestrina is already acknowledged as one of the great masters, a general agreement that Lassus was one of the finest composers ever known has yet to be established.

	Gimell CDGIM 018 Notes
		Although Orlandus Lassus (1532-1594) is perhaps the most celebrated late Renaissance composer, the few recordings of his music do not give an adequate impression of his achievement.
		Lassus must have learnt the technique of writing double-choir antiphonal music in Italy, since he would not have come across this method of text-setting in his native Flanders.
		It is not the only early work by Lassus to explore the chromatic scale (the Prophetiae Sibyllarum come from the same period), but since they predate Gesualdo's similar experiments by several decades it is strange that Lassus made almost no further use of these otherworldly and fascinating sounds in his compositions.

	LASSUS Lagrime di San Pietro [JvV]: Classical CD Reviews- Sept 2003 MusicWeb(UK) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		Orlandus Lassus was the most famous composer of the second half of the 16th century.
		Some believe that, since Lassus felt his end was near, he thought it necessary to do penance for his sins — for instance, his composition of secular works on morally dubious texts — and a composition like this was the best way to do so.
		Although the practice at the Bavarian court where Lassus worked certainly suggests a frequent use of instruments, one could argue that because of the intimate character of these sacred madrigals an ‘a cappella’ performance is most suitable.

		Lassus is well known as a composer whose imagination was fired by the texts that he set.
		For that reason, grouping together all of his motets which use the Song of Songs (Canticum canticorum) provides an excellent set of compostions.
		Lassus is obviously stirred by the sensual texts, concerned with the expression of human love in a spiritual context.

		It was written not only to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Lasso's death but also as an homage to a composer who had an extraordinary ability to evoke a maximum of expression with minimal means.
		The compositional challenge of this piece was to use a fairly large modern orchestra with all its possibilities, but at the same time to derive everything in the piece from the musical material given by Lassus.
		As in the original Fantasia, there is a slow introduction paired with a virtuoso second part.

		Lassus simply dipped into the book at various times in his career, picking out some of the finest texts.
		In the last motet, Tota pulchra est, Lassus seems to have assembled a group of appealing verses without recourse to liturgical requirements.
