Orlando di Lasso
Orlando di Lasso (born Roland [Orland] de Lassus 1530 or 1532–1594) was one of the greatest composers of the Renaissance, known for his versatility, his emotional style, and his musical vigor. His catalogue of works is impressive, including everything from masses and motets to French chansons, Italian madrigals, German lieder and everything in between, including sassy and licentious pieces as well. He traveled widely and worked for many years in Italy and then, from 1556 for the court of Duke Albrecht V of Bavaria in Münich.
