So famous was Roland de Lassus that by the time he was 34, Samuel Quickelberg had already written the biography of "the more than divine Orlando", as the poet Ronsard called Lassus, and as early as 1560 had praised the fact that he regarded music and words as of equal importance. But beyond his mastery of polyphonic language, what clearly characterises Lassus is his ability to feel at home in all styles whether secular or sacred, serious or light-hearted.
