Description: The Missa Octavi Toni by Orlando di Lasso is commonly known as the Missa Jäger or Missa Venatorum - the “Hunters’ Mass”. Of his 60 complete masses, most of which are imitation (or parody) settings, it falls into the category of missae breves, “brief masses”. It is the most extreme example of settings made to order for Lassus’s employer, Duke Albrecht V of Bavaria (1528 - 1579), who disliked having his progress to hunting impeded by prolix polyphonic essays. Demanding aristocracy aside, this superbly economical mass combines much syllabic word setting, brief and concise imitative episodes, typically colourful chromatic inflections and is ideal for any liturgical celebration where time is at a premium.
