SUSANNE UN JOUR is a secular chanson from the 16th century. It is Orlando di Lasso’s setting of a popular song that tells the bible story of Susanna and the elders. This Beautiful Music is an arrangement for voice and string quartet by Michael Hersch, performed by soprano Ah Young Hong with the Flux Quartet. I hope you are as mesmerized by this performance as I am. You will also find a link to Artemisia Gentileschi’s 1610 painting, SUSANNA AND THE ELDERS.
