About This Song
About "Lassus: Les meslanges: No. 82, Au feu, au feu, venez-moi secourir" by The King's Singers
Fire alarms in Renaissance France: Lassus sets 'Au feu!' as a breathless chase of overlapping voices. The King's Singers ignite the counterpoint, each entry a spark catching tinder. Urgency collides with polished ensembleâpanic rendered elegant. You hear the crackle of panic and the cool control of master singers.
