Prophetiae sibyllarum

Album by Orlande de Lassus & The Brabant Ensemble & Stephen Rice

Prophetiae Sibyllarum is a cycle of motets by Orlande de Lassus, composed circa 1557. The collection features unusual chromatic writing, expressive text-painting and experimental modal procedures that anticipate early Baroque chromaticism, reflecting an exploratory phase in Lassus's late-Renaissance output.
