Program: #05-46 Air Date: Nov 07, 2005
NOTE: All of the music on this program is from the recent release of music of Roland de Lassus with the Cardinall's Musick directed by Andrew Carwood on the ASV Gaudeamus label, CD # GAU 310.
This program is Free for all, thanks to this generous Preservation Grant:
Preservation of this program is made possible by a generous grant in honor of Richard Bayer.
Unlike Palestrina, Lassus never collected his settings of The Song of Songs (Canticum Canticorum) in one publication—this is the first time a disc has united this many of the motets inspired by this Song of Solomon together. The major work on the disc is the mass based on Lassus' motet Surge propera.
The program is sponsored in part by the Belgian Tourist Office and the Flemish Desk of the Embassy of Belgium in Washington, D.C. For more information on visiting Belgium,you may contact the Belgian Tourist Office at: www.visitbelgium.com
