Heu quos dabimus miseranda a 6 by Orlando di Lasso — Lyrics
Heu quos dabimus miseranda cohors gemitus tanto funere dignos,
heu quis ab imo pectore luctus mala nostra pari diluat unda
quo deliciis nescia vinci nostra libido cessit,
et auri vesana fames quo blan da Venus quae raptus honos rapta su pellex
alias versat fortuna vices, alius rerum nascitur ordo,
versa in tristes gaudia luctus versa ingemitus citherea chelis.
Mens male conscia terrore labat,

About Heu quos dabimus miseranda a 6
Orlando di Lasso’s Heu quos dabimus miseranda a 6 is a powerful motet for six voices (SAATTB) in Latin. The music opens with a sense of profound lament, its texture rich and dense as it immediately plunges into the sorrowful mood of the text. Lasso masterfully employs the six parts to convey a deep sense of grief and despair, reflecting the dramatic unfolding of the text. The work explores themes of mortal suffering, the consequences of earthly desires, and the fear of divine judgment, painting a vivid sonic picture of anguish and the desperate search for solace.
