{"product_id":"roland-de-lassus-requiem","title":"Roland de Lassus: Requiem","description":"Roland de Lassus composed more than eighty masses, of which only two are Requiems; it is not possible to link them to the funerals of any particular individuals.    The four-part Missa pro defunctis was published in Paris in 1577. The library of an abbey in Augsburg, however, contains a transposed manuscript copy intended for an ensemble of male voices (tenors, baritones and basses); what is more, this manuscript copy includes a Dies Irae that does not appear in the Paris edition. The five-part Requiem was published in 1589, five years before Lassus's death. Here, Vox Luminis presents both compositions, highlighting the contrasting colours of the two vocal ensembles: the gravity of the four-part Requiem against the light of the five-part setting.","brand":"Ricercar","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":46172708700394,"sku":"5400439004931","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/4523823-3630130.jpg?v=1786830096","url":"https:\/\/arkivmusic.com\/products\/roland-de-lassus-requiem","provider":"ArkivMusic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
