It was due in the first place to the extraordinary expansion of the technique, relatively new at the time, of music printing. Thanks to this new medium a great number of printers, not only in the Germanic regions (where Lassus was active), but also in Italy (where he had lived for ten years during his youth), in the Netherlands (where he was born) and in France (where he had been well received), published his work. This was impressive and varied, covering all genres, both sacred and secular, known at that time, making Lassus the international figure of his day.
