Judging from his music, not exactly a party animal. However, I find his most of music of an intricacy and thematic depth unsurpassed for his time. Highly multi-layered, but without boasting it at all. I wonder: would Bach have been familiar with his music?

interesting comment, thanks!

The Catholic Church should restore it's role as patron of the arts. Today my generation listens to trash, when there is beauty like this left unheard, it's almost a crime.

I love your comments Brian. Your translation must be very close, but these carmina are originally published without a text, so intended to be played instrumentally.
