Le thresor de musique - Lasso, Orlando di

♪

"This volume collects Lasso's songs for four, five, and six voices, primarily in French, and modifies the "mostly lascivious and profane" lyrics so that they will not "sully the Christian tongue or offend the Christian ear." RISM records two works by Philippe de Monte in the 1576 edition. In 1582, this volume was reprinted without the Philippe de Monte works and eight of the Lasso works but with the addition of sixty works by Lasso, increasing the number of French and Latin works and adding a couple of works in Italian. The third edition was issued in 1594 by Paul Marceau of Cologny, who "reviewed and diligently corrected" the contents."
