(*The Suspicious Cheese Lords’ name is derived from the title of a Thomas Tallis motet,
Suscipe quaeso Domine. While “translating” the title, it was observed that
Suscipe could be “suspicious,”
quaeso is close to the Spanish word
queso meaning “cheese,” and
Domine is, of course, “Lord.” Hence, the title of the motet was clearly “Suspicious Cheese Lord” - which in time became adopted as the group’s name. Although their name is humorous, the group appreciates the literal translation of
Suscipe Quaeso Domine, which is, “Take, I ask, Lord.” Suspiciously, the Cheese Lords have yet to perform this motet).
