icepixieToday I ordered a CD of Orlando di Lasso masses for five voices (Entre Vous Filles, Susanne un Jour, and Infelix Ego, which isn't a mass, but whatever) because there was a motet by him on our music history CD, and I am JUST THAT GEEKY. Also, a.) Sopranos, OMG, and b.) $7 before shipping. Not bad.
Um, that's actually kind of it for this entry. I have nothing much of interest to say. Well, of interest to me is that I got someone to switch shifts with me at the Writing Center, so now I don't have Thursdays of DOOM anymore. They're more full than any other day of the week, but not to a ridiculous extent. Sadly, this change means no Monday ballroom (well, not the first hour anyway, and if I don't go to that, the chances of me going to the second hour drop exponentially), but it's not like I was making very many of those sessions anyway. *shrug*
Oh, and Chandra, Ellen and I ran into McMullen today before Anglo-Saxon. I heart her. If only she weren't on sabbatical this year. *sigh* She's doing the Exeter program next year, though, so we'll see her when we drop in at the information sessions for next year's group.
And that's really it for this entry. *wanders off*

Anyway, if you like di Lassus, you should try de Victoria -- especially his tenebrae responsories. He and di Lassus were roughly contemporaries, but Victoria's work is more chromatic and more expressive. I don't think any of his stuff is on the 102 CD, though.

Yeah, H was espousing Victoria's virtues in class. He played us a few minutes of something by him (I have no idea what). I liked it better than the Palestrina (although there's certainly nothing wrong with Palestrina), but not quite as much as the di Lassus. I admit it, I'm a sucker for powerful soprano lines. Might look up some more Victoria, though, if Amazon has something for cheap.
