Yes, Lasso (Roland de Lassus) was one of the last of the great Netherlanders. It's hard to imagine Gesualdo or many of Monteverdi's chromatic madrigals without the Carminum and similar. He was one of the most famous musicians of his time, but we hardly remember him now--unless we have the good fortune to sing in very good chamber choirs! I had the good luck to belong to such a group in my early 20s called "i cantori." They could sing anything! Don't know if any of their work is still around, but check them out if you can. Their performance of Penderecki's Ecloga VIII was stunning, to name but one example.
I am listening to him tonight because we sang some of his works in choir, 20 years ago now. This song in particular is wild! Also, he was contemporaneous with my persona in the SCA (that I haven't used in a decade).

Huh... I stumbled into this following someone's list, and initially wondered if I was listening to something by Carlo Gesualdo because of the unusual harmony during the Carmina Chromatico. I didn't realize Lassus had this in him. Interesting stuff.
There are no key centers. The following, regarding the first movement, "Carmina Chromatic" is taken from the liner notes on the Hilliard Ensemble's performance of this amazing piece of music: "...the title referring to the complex dissonances and tuning of this extraordinary work. .. The tenor begins on G, which would lead the listener toexpext the Mixolydian mode; in fact a C chord is inserted before one on G, after which we reach the word 'chromatic, where Lassus takes off into Bmaj, C#m and Emma in rapid succession, makes a brief rhetorical pause and then jumps to F#m, completely destabilizing any potential tonal center. In the first eight bars there are chords in all but one of the twelve chromatic semitones...." The entire piece is an early example of chromaticism as opposed to diatonic composition common to western music and very controversial in the 16th century.
So used to hearing/seeing Orlando di Lasso and Thomas Morley, I was not that familiar with Roland de Lassus at all. Thank you for acquainting my ears to this work. Very pleasant!

The inverted parallel fifth takes place over a phrase boundary. The tenor will breathe at the end of measure 11 and so his A-D interval won't feel like an interval.
@@jsleith The final cadence of Sybilla Persica actually has the same voice leading in the tenor and bass as in measure 11-12, this time within a single word ('magnus') and thus within a single phrase. As far as I can tell (as an amateur), only 'real', i.e. non-inverted, non-'hidden' parallel fifths are avoided consistently by Lassus and his Franco-Flemish predecessors.
Thank you for this. Just want to call your attention to a spelling error under "De Labyrintho". In "Carmina crhomatico", the latter word should be spelled "chromatico". Best regards.

Or just buy the album so that groups like this continue to record high quality music for your consumption. It's on Naxos, so the cost is minimal... Look for "Lasso: Prophetiae Sibyllarum"
-What key is this this in?
-Yes
How have I gone my whole life without hearing this before? Gorgeous and glorious! I can only imagine the surprise people felt in the 16th century.
apteryx01 exactly how I feel tonight
Cette musique est magique car elle révèle en nous des émotions profondes et insolites.
Interesting musical work. Complex. With many changes. With reason it's regarded like one of the earliest examples of chromaticism. Thank you!

Remarkably chromatic in historical context. Extraordinary
Thank you for inserting the score !I love reading each part .Fascinating . Well sung too with excellent diction.
Amazing - I would have guessed Gesualdo
Me too. And Gesualdo was a madrigal guy--Lasso was actually doing this stuff in church!
sacred and .... epic.
Davvero complimenti, un'esecuzione magnifica!

Di Lasso and de Lassus are the same person?
Is this irony or you didn't know Orlando di Lasso and Roland de Lassus also Orlandus Lassus moreover Orlande de Lassus are the very same, one person?

Measure 11-12 (Sibylla Persica): isn't this an inverse parallel quint between tenor and bass?
The inverted parallel fifth takes place over a phrase boundary. The tenor will breathe at the end of measure 11 and so his A-D interval won't feel like an interval.

Amazing

thank you
C Major, G Major (I,V) then B Major (G's USM) then C#m and E Major...great choice of chords !
This music dont have chords. Is a Modal music. Not Tonal music.
The chords are a consecuence of the counterpoint.
oh, compliments man, you did your home work,,,,who cares it 's counterpoint? The chords occurs anyway-
by the way, don't bother yourself trying to explain me what is Tonal music . I happen to know it
@@ratonmusical5865 this is a choral, and as a whole "instrument" of course chords happen
eccellente
Lassus de profundus
That's rad.

I was just looking for this execution!! Perfect for me!! It's a problem for you to send me the 12 mp3 files? I'd be grateful!
