One of my favorite Mottets and Missa from Lassus especially the final notes/theme. (end of 3. Kyrie at 3:14, and 3:27 and Agnus dei) "Susanne un jour" is the tragic story of masculine violent desire, still in this world. The mass is a kind of Curation Impact. Timeless medicine. Hear also the diminutiones of "Susanne" from componist Bassano :)
Yes, this is a very nice mass (and Susanne un jour is a very nice chanson.) I would say, however, that this is not a tragic story, as in the in the Greek version of Daniel, where this story comes from, Susanne is saved by Daniel's wisdom and the elders receive their punishment. And the point of the French arrangement of this story is not the masculine violent desire, but the acceptance of unjust suffering, as Susanne says: "Mais j'aime mieux périr en innocence que d'offenser par péché le Seigneur". But I prefer to die innocently rather than offend the Lord by committing sin. It seems to me as a typical Counter-Reformation story.
