Matthew Schellhorn of the Latin Mass Society of England & Wales commissioned me to compose a three-part equal voice setting of certain portions of the Latin Lamentations used at Tenebrae during Holy Week. For the most part the harmony may be described as neo-Renaissance although some surprising dissonances illustrate the anguished prophetic text.
The score seamlessly integrates the polyphony into the chanted readings. The Lyrics on this page simply give the text that is set to polyphony (to include all the text from Tenebrae would be too much for this page to handle).
