Among Orlando di Lasso's remarkable sacred compositions are his unique and atmospheric settings of the Proper volumes of the Mass for the feasts of Christmas, Easter, Pentecost and Corpus Christi, which were first published as Officia aliquot de praecipuis festis anni 1574. In this recording project, the Propers (polyphonic settings of the specific liturgical texts belonging to each feast) - Introit, Alleluia, Sequence, Communion - appear in the correct chronological order and interspersed with movements from some of Orlando di Lasso's lesser-known and very beautiful mass compositions.
