Orlande de Lassus
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.

Memories & Feelings
by: Lucya & AceMemories & feelings
Happiness & dreams
You grow these flowers in my heart
(pause)
The letters dance before my eyes
The numbers seem to leave my mind
I walk above the ground, I'm feelin' special now
And even if the sun don't shine above
And even if the rain is fallin'
Down upon my soul
I wanna see you and ask for more
Memories & feelings
Happiness & dreams
You grow these flowers in my heart
I know memories & feelings
Everlasting healin'
I just keep them all inside
(pause)
Been waiting for an angel light
Been walkin' thru the darkest night
But then again I was livin' without you boy
And even if the sun don't shine above
And even if the rain is fallin'
Down upon my soul
I wanna see you and ask for more
Memories & feelings
Happiness & dreams
You grow these flowers in my heart
I know memories & feelings
Everlasting healin'
I just keep them all inside
