The thirty-eighth classical recording: #15 Orlande de Lassus - Motets
It's tricky to hear sometimes what separates one motet from the other and while de Lassus is credited with some specific innovations, but I can't say I detected them in the album mentioned - instead they were fairly staid, perhaps at time a bit faster than others, but not greatly so. There are probably good examples of his sense of humor, but I'm not good enough to find them in here.
