Tenor. Livre de chansons a cinc parties : avec deux dialogues : a huit. D'Orlande de Lassus.
A 1581 Paris music book of five-part chansons by Orlande de Lassus, published by Adrian Le Roy for singers and musicians. The pictures show printed polyphonic part music with decorated woodcut initial letters at the left of each system, and their dense staves and lyric lines suggest layout ideas for ornamented capitals beside text.
