Toelichting:
This bundle of motets (1559) - both religious and secular - shows imitational and canonic techniques, that must have inspired composers as Lassus, Palestriana, De Monte and later on even Monteverdi. It contains texts from ancient Latin poets as Virgil and Horace; and also psalms, antiphons and both canonic and apocryphal bible books. And there is also a poem by Nicolaus Stopius (Mirabar solito) written at the occasion of the wedding of Duke William V of Bavaria with Renata of Lorraine in 1568.
The most complicated secular motet - Dissimulare etiam sperasti for 5, 6 and 7 voices - is a part from Dido’s Lament from Virgil’s Aeneid. A complete range of emotions are presented: hope, sadness, loneliness, love and revenge. De Rore opens an arsenal of style figures that is so admired by later composers. We hear off-modus cadenzas, chromaticism, free dissonants, minor-major changes and more. The result is a piece full of tone repeats, dramatic outbursts and crescendos that point forward to Monteverdi’s Lamento d’Arianna. No wonder that Monteverdi’s admiration for De Rore is still tangible 50 years later.
