Catalogue Note
Rare : Les premières éditions des motets de Lassus, probablement la partie la plus importante de son oeuvre, sont de plus en plus rares sur le marché ; de ce fait, nous n'avons retrouvé aucune trace de cette édition dans une vente publique. Le présent ouvrage contient la première publication du motet en douze parties 'Laudate Dominum omnes gentes', pour lequel ce volume contient la première et la partie du ténor. Il y a aussi des premières éditions de motets en six parties 'Quare tristis est', 'Jam non dicam vos servos' et des éditions d'autres motets publiés pour la première fois en 1568 ou 1570.
Rare: First editions of Lassus's motets, arguably the most important part of his oeuvre, are increasingly rare on the market; indeed we have no record of any part from this edition appearing at auction. It contains the first publication of the twelve-part motet 'Laudate Dominum omnes gentes', for which this volume supplies both the first and tenor parts. There are also first editions of the six-part motets 'Quare tristis est', 'Jam non dicam vos servos', and early editions of several other motets first published in 1568 or 1570.
