<strong>THE</strong> TWO EDITIONS <strong>OF</strong> LASSO’S SELECTISSIMAE CANTIONES, 1568 AND 1579<br />

To conclude: Boetticher asserts that Lechner transmitted no better versions of the<br />

motets he edited. 11 It should be obvious that I cannot agree with this statement. I<br />

would urge that Leonhard Lechner’s editorial work in the 1579 Selectissimae cantiones<br />

represents Lasso’s intentions, whether or not as the result of direct communication<br />

from Lasso, that his rejection of Zachaee, festinans descende and Gloria Patri<br />

was in harmony with Lasso’s wishes, and that his edition is an invaluable and reliable<br />

source for Lasso’s motets.<br />
