Summary:
"In 1564 the firm of Berg and Neuber in Nuremberg published a five-volume anthology of motets for from four to eight voices under the title Thesaurus musicus. The 229 motets in this collection represent composers from the time of Josquin Desprez up to that of Lasso. Seventeen motets by Lasso were published there for the first time, in addition to six others reprinted from his Antwerp motet book of 1556. Most of the texts of Lasso's new motets in this volume are sacred, although one of them is a drinking song for two choirs that parodies the hymn, "Jam lucis orto sidere." The best known motet in the group is one of Lasso's noted chromatic pieces, the six-voice "Timor et tremor." The most curious piece is perhaps "Te decet hymnus Deus in Sion," the text of which heavily paraphrases Psalm 64." -- Provided by publisher.
Contents:
Confitebor tibi Domine
Jam lucis orto sidere
Decantabat populus Israel
Estote ergo misericordes
In te, Domine, speravi
Timor et tremor
Dixit Joseph undecim fratribus suis
Verbum caro factum est
Quam magnificata sunt opera tua
Cognoscimus Domine
Fili, quid fecisti nobis sic?
Tibi laus, tibi gloria
Confisus Domino tua pectora
Te decet hymnus Deus in Sion
Qui cupit exsolvi
Amen, amen, dico vobis
Quasi cedrus exaltata sum.
