Orlando di Lasso: Quare tristis es
Singer Pur
�umer umerous contemporary composers have been strongly
influenced influe by medieval and renaissance music. Singer
Pur, the prize-winning vocal ensemble, traces such
manifold manif
relationships in its fifth CD. This results
in fascinating new sound-universes and entirely new
impressions. Three motets composed in 2005/06 by
Wolfgang Rihm, as well as Arvo Pärt’s Memento, enter
into a shimmering dialog with works by Orlando di
Lasso and George de La Hèle, a Flemish composer
who died in 1586 at the age of 39. The connection
between Lasso and de La Hèle is shown as well. De
La Hèle used various elements and motives from the
eponymous Lasso motet in his mass “Quare tristis
es” – a common technique not only in that age. De
La Hele’s homage shows just how much fame Lasso’s
works enjoyed. Both works are found on this recording.

“Singer Pur gives its programs dramatic form with astonishing selfconfidence.
This level of vocal consort music is not an aesthetic question
of faith, but a pure revelation.” Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
