about

taking the 'tenebrae responsoria' as a starting point (and in particular gesualdo's 'responsoria et alia ad officium hebdomadae sanctae spectantia') this lengthy work was prompted by a discussion of how we remember and pay respect to the dead but also how we continue with our own lives and how we cope with mental illness.

this is a journey from darkness to light.

The work is split into three sections that signify both the three days that the 'tenebrae responsoria' would be sung but also the three days between Christ's crucifixion and resurrection (any references to cage's 'a valentine out of season' are entirely intended.)

This is intended to be a single, three hour long piece but upload restrictions do not allow that

Sepulto Domino, signatum est monumentum,
Volventes lapidem ad ostium monumenti,
Ponentes milites qui custodirent illum.
Versus: Accedentes principes sacerdotum ad Pilatum, petierunt illum.
Gorczycki: In pace factus est locus eius, et in Sion habitatio eius.
Handl: Ne forte veniant discipuli eius, et furentur eum, et dicant plebi: surrexit ad mortuis.
Ponentes milites qui custodirent illum.

(The Lord being buried, the tomb was sealed
By rolling a stone across the door,
And soldiers were placed to guard it.
Versus: The chief priests went to Pilate and petitioned him.
Gorczycki: In peace is his place, and his dwelling is in Sion.
Handl: It may be that his disciples come and steal him away, and tell the people: he is risen from the dead.
And soldiers were placed to guard it.)
