The Sibyls, figures of the archaic era, successively haunted the imagination of the Greeks and the Romans. Link between the human world and the divine world, the Christian West attributes to them the prophetic announcement of the birth of the Savior. They inspired Roland de Lassus with a cycle of 13 songs, the Prophetiae Sibyllarum, an extraordinary cycle of novelty for the time. This musical monument is still too little known today. From these polyphonic miniatures tinged with chromaticism rises a feeling of strangeness mixed with mysticism. Written in Munich while the composer was in the service of Duke Albert of Bavaria, they are a masterpiece of the Musical Renaissance. Exclusive property of the Duke, they remained secret for many years until their edition in 1600.
