Music reviews of Lamenta
Music Review: Solid mixture of Lamentations
Rating: 4 Stars
I confess that I am a Lamentations of Jeremiah junkie - having more music for Tenebrae than for Christmas! I agree with the preceding reviewer, Guy Cutting, that the Tallis and Palestrina are good but uninspired. The reason to get this collection is the three uncommon settings - Ferrabosco, Brumel, and White all 15th-16th century. Each of these write traditional polyphonic Lamentations i.e. provide ornate settings for the Hebrew letter (in Hebrew the Lamentations are acrostics) and settings that insure the text dominates for the verses. All three write interesting and sombre settings, settings not better known because there are so many spectacular settings for the Lamentations but only three days of Tennebrae. Although not spectacular, the settings are well worth keeping alive - so enjoy.
Description of Lamenta
The service of Tenebrae, in the Anglican and Roman Catholic churches, is a deeply penitential liturgy observed during the latter, darker half of Holy Week, particularly on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday, in observance of the darkness of the crucifixion. The texts, from the Book of Jeremiah, are as mournful, even despairing, as the occasion warrants. This well-balanced, exquisitely rendered album from the Tallis Scholars offers up settings by five 16th-century composers, most of them little-known. The refrain "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, turn to the Lord, your God," echoes in the cultural heritage of all people of the Book. --Sarah Bryan MillerGeneral CDs
