“Tutto lo di” is similar to villanelles and morescas. It requires a lively diction of the Italian language Orlando di Lasso enjoyed so much. The melody helps to understand the text. It is mostly written in homorhythm. Two other songs from the same collection published in 1581 by Le Roy et Ballard are famous: the canon for choirs “Eco” and the moresca “Matona mia cara.”
