Orlando di Lasso Lamentations of Jeremiah


This is about 42 days early, the Lamentations of Jeremiah not being sung until the last days of Holy Week but these are such incredible masterpieces that it could take that long to become familiar with them.  Orlando di Lasso (spelled many different ways, in French Italian and Latin) is one of my favorite composers of the high Renaissance, better than the renowned Palestrina, in my opinion.
