Quinta pars. Livre de chansons a cinc parties : avec deux dialogues : a huit. D'Orlande de Lassus.
A 1581 Paris part-book of five-voice chansons by Orlande de Lassus, published by Adrian Le Roy for singers and musicians. The pages are printed music with large decorated historiated initials at the start of each song, and the musical staves are the main visual structure. A designer could draw on the strong ornamental capitals and the dense, even rhythm of the staff lines for borders, letterforms, or pattern work.
