| Orlando di Lasso and Giovanni Gabrieli |
|
|
|
|
Giovanni Gabrieli created the Venitian polychoral style. However all
his compositions are not so ample. Some are in the classical XVIth
century classical polyphony, and in this matter he borrowed from
Orlando di Lasso, whom he had met in Munich, and not from the Roman
schola. Comparative extracts.
Roland de Lassus (Mons 1532 – Munich 1594), known in Latin as Orlando di Lasso, studied music in Italy and became the musical director of St-John of Latran (1553) before obtaining the same highly-sought position at the Munich court. The scope of his work is amazing : he left more than 2 000 pieces in extremely varied styles : religious motets in Latin, Italian madrigals, German lieder, French songs. Lassus represents the apex of the Franco-Flemish polyphony fashion period. We will return to this composer when we present this schola.
