Orlande de Lassus - Psalmi poenitentialis

[@robleeatheart]

Out of a turbulent period when Christian and Christian were at each others’ throats, came these visions of the Divine from a plethora of extraordinary composers … I fall to my knees in gratitude for them …

[@tigerarmyrule]

The challenge for European Christians in the coming decades is how to represent light and hope in a society in which we are a small minority. Profoundly and timelessly beautiful art like this helps revive the spirit and as you say it also helps those with no faith in Christ find some beauty in the darkness. It is an all round good.

Palestrina Vitoria Tallis Cardoso ,may I say Byrd, were all in my experience of great polyphony from a young age and then late in my life came Lassus.

[@_PROCLUS]

Orlande de LASSUS (also Roland de Lassus, Orlando di Lasso, Orlandus Lassus, Orlande de Lattre or Roland de Lattre) 1530 - 1594 a Netherlandish or Franco-Flemish composer, today considered to be the chief representative of the mature polyphonic style of the Franco-Flemish school, and one of the three most famous and influential musicians in Europe at the end of the 16th century (the other two being Palestrina and Victoria). … At the age of twelve, he left the Low Countries with Ferrante Gonzaga and went to Mantua, Sicily, and later Milan (from 1547 to 1549). While in Milan, he made the acquaintance of the madrigalist Spirito l'Hoste da Reggio, a formative influence on his early musical style. … Next he moved to Rome, where he worked for Cosimo I de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, and in 1553, he became maestro di cappella of the Basilica of Saint John Lateran, a spectacularly prestigious post indeed for a man only twenty-one years old. However, he stayed there for only a year. (Palestrina would assume this post a year later, in 1555) … WIKI

[@markowicz3687]

Es música cristiana occidental. De base, expresa la teología y la espiritualidad de un catolicismo de transición entre el Medioevo y la incipiente modernidad; luego, cada persona lo aprecia y valora o siente de forma personal, subjetiva. No podemos separar la obra del compositor y su ser como, en este caso, cristiano.

We, as Catholics, desire justice as well. No earthly justice can make up for what has been perpetrated against these children; we desire justice, and even if guilt is determined, we still hunger for justice. That being said- if the faith is true, we should adhere to it- if it is a lie, all should abandon it. The actions of humans can not make what God has instituted a lie. That is why we adhere to the body of Christ- bloody and broken, but present in service to and sacrifice for mankind.

A very offensive comment. It was the beauty and majesty of our Catholic faith and rites that inspired so many of Europe's greatest composers to pen such masterpieces in honor of our Lord.

[@vlouis2]

...If you permit me : God created the Church by His Son Jesus Christ, and created sacraments, especially eucharisty (on Holy Thursday during the Lord's Supper before Good Friday), to give us the possibility to be intimately joined to Him (during the Holly Mass). This is the best moment to have reciprocal love with God. (Sorry for my poor English)

I neither understand a word of this music nor do understand how human voices can create such dulcet tones and such harmonies, nor how they can evoke such emotion from this lifelong atheist. I have it on a high volume on my 20 year-old Bose radio so it fills my home from top to bottom with a beauty undescribable. I am not looking to convert but this, this whatever-it-is, inside of me gathers the feeling and keeps is inside. These voices inside of me instill reverence. I have come to the conclusion that beautiful, ethereal, lovely, 'heavenly' music has no limitations. These words do not do this piece justice.

As one of our presidents famously said, 'it depends on what 'is' is'. The renaissance came in different ways to different countries. In Italy it had its earliest flowering in maybe the mid-1300s, but in England not for another 200 years. France maybe somewhere in between. Monteverdi is a crossover between renaissance and baroque, for example, and Orlando right in there, challenging the harmonic proscriptions of Mother Church. Maybe not as much as Gesualdo, but enlightening anyway.

Lassus died in Munich on 14 June 1594, the same day that his employer decided to dismiss him for economic reasons; he never saw the letter. He was buried in Munich in the Alter Franziskaner Friedhof. His grave is lost, and the cemetery is now overbuilt with a parking structure (from WIKIPEDIA)

[@najat5779]

It is not "overbuilt w/ a parking structure." Per two different sites - Wikipedia and Find a Grave - the cemetery, which dates from the late 1200's, has not been used since 1774. In 1778 it became a parade ground; the gravestones were removed in 1789. Eventually it became Max-Joseph Platz, named after King Maximilian Joseph (King of Bavaria in the 1st quarter of the 19th c.). The parking is underground, though perhaps that was even more injurious to whatever remained of the resting places after nearly two centuries of municipal underground activity for water, gas, and steam lines, electrification and the like.
