| Summary | "Famous Composers and Their Works, Vol. 1" by John Knowles Paine, Theodore Thomas, and Karl Klauser is a comprehensive historical account written in the early 20th century. The volume serves as a detailed guide to significant composers from the Netherlands school and beyond, including notable figures such as Orlando di Lasso and Josquin des Prés. It explores their contributions and the evolution of musical art during their times, emphasizing the impact they had on modern music. The opening of the book introduces Orlando di Lasso, highlighting his remarkable upbringing in Mons and the trajectory of his career, which led him to become a leading figure in the Netherlands school of composition. It details Lasso's education, early performances, and eventual rise to prominence as chapel-master in Munich, where he produced many influential works. The text outlines Lasso's prolific nature, technical innovations, and artistic relationships, setting the stage for the exploration of his music and legacy in subsequent sections of the volume.
