A study of how the secular lyrics of the French composer Orlando di
Lasso were reworked by Protestant printers in the sixteenth century
to convey new spiritual meanings. This book aims to enrich our
understanding of the French secular music of Orlando di Lasso,
using those songs as a means of understanding a particular
community of Renaissance readers and the music books they created.
Lasso's secular songs figured quite prominently in a number of
collections of devotional songs issued by Protestant printers in
the late sixteenth century. Lasso's profane lyrics were changed to
convey spiritual meanings. This study uses theexample of such
reworkings as a means of discovering how such a repertory was heard
and understood by a particular community of listeners, and in so
doing, it explores the history of these chansons in print, and the
history of thespiritual attitudes that shaped their reception among
the Huguenots. Richard Freedman is Associate Professor of Music at
Haverford College.
