Edite caesareo by Orlando di Lasso — Lyrics
Edite caesareo Boiorum sanguine Princeps
Bavariae gentis spes columenque domus
Hac aetate tibi quemquam pietate secundum
Et virtute parem non superesse puto.

About Edite caesareo
Orlando di Lasso's Edite caesareo is a grand setting for SSAATTBB of a Latin text praising a prince. The lyrics speak of his exceptional virtue and piety, comparing him to the moon outshining the stars. This motet is a superb example of Renaissance polyphony, showcasing Lasso's masterful command of vocal textures and harmonic language. Its secular nature and elaborate voicing make it a challenging yet rewarding piece for an accomplished choir, offering a rich and sonorous exploration of text and music.
