Roland de Lassus (also Orlande de Lassus, Orlando di Lasso, Orlandus Lassus, or Roland de Lattre; 1532, possibly 1530 – 14 June 1594) was a Netherlandish or Franco-Flemish composer of the late Renaissance. He is today considered to be the chief representative of the mature polyphonic style of the Franco-Flemish school, and one of the three most famous and influential musicians in Europe at the end of the 16th century (the other two being Palestrina and Victoria).
Life
Lassus was born in Mons in the County of Hainaut, Habsburg Netherlands (modern-day Belgium). Information about his early years is scanty, although some uncorroborated stories have survived, the most famous of which is that he was kidnapped three times because of the singular beauty of his singing voice. At the age of twelve, he left the Low Countries with Ferrante Gonzaga and went to Mantua, Sicily, and later Milan (from 1547 to 1549). While in Milan, he made the acquaintance of the madrigalist Spirito l'Hoste da Reggio, a formative influence on his early musical style.

FAQ:
Q: What do the colors mean?
A: Each pitch class has its own color, chosen by mapping the musician's "circle of fifths" to the artist's "color wheel". I choose C to be blue. This is YouTube user Smalin's invention. You can read more about it here: http://www.musanim.com/mam/pfifth.htm
Q: How did you make this animation?
A: With a program I wrote in Python. I also used FFMPEG, SoX, TiMidity, FluidSynth, Python Image Library, and midicsv. All excellent, free, open-source software.
Q: Could you make a video of this other song?
A: Sure! Well, maybe. For copyright reasons, it has to be public domain music. Just comment below, or send me a message and I'll see what I can do.
