This program showcases the pinnacle of polyphonic music that colored the transitional period from Renaissance to Baroque, focusing on Lassus's final masterpiece and works from the rich collection by the exceptional Agostini, whose work had been overshadowed by the same collection. Lassus served the court of the Elector of Bavaria, one of Europe's most powerful rulers. After composing an immense and diverse body of work, he dedicated his religious madrigal collection \"Tears of Saint Peter\"—based on Italian poems expressing awareness of sin and repentance—to Pope Clement VIII just weeks before his death. This unparalleled masterpiece combines intricate polyphonic writing with advanced techniques foreshadowing the later concertante form. Yet eight years earlier, Rodolfo Agostini, composer at the Ferrara court—then at the forefront of all artistic fields—had compiled a collection titled \"Tears of the Penitent.\" This work treated the same theme, yet sublimated the verses into fresh, vibrant music, diverging from Lassus's approach.From both collections, works were meticulously selected. The ensemble, featuring a cappella polyphony experts joined by skilled period instrument players, approaches the pinnacle of 16th-century music. This is the work of Deux Mémoires, the early music ensemble from Tours in central France. Backed by rich historical and practical knowledge, they have produced numerous acclaimed recordings through careful work analysis and meticulous program design. This recording is dedicated to Denis Lésan-Dador, the ensemble's director, whose sudden passing in autumn 2025 shocked early music connoisseurs worldwide, despite having multiple future projects in development.
