Comes from Lassus' last work, a cycle of madrigals with texts selected from Luigi Tansillo's devotional work, the Lagrime di S. Pietro (Tears of St Peter). The Latin text of Vide homo is not from Tansillo's work but was added by Lassus as a conclusion to the madrigals. In this motet, Lassus displays his unrivalled mastery of counterpoint.
