Invictus: A Passion addresses one of the world’s most powerful stories through the lens of the modern world. The texts, written or inspired by women, describe not only human suffering and persecution but also the human capacity for love and humility in the face of tyranny. Composer Howard Goodall is uniquely suited to bring these texts to life with music of emotional clarity and sweeping force. This excerpt is scored for SATB (divisi) choir and piano. A text by Æmelia Lanyer (née Bassano) (“Why should unlawful actions use the Light?”) is set as a homophonic chorale with a supportive accompaniment. Duration 3:32.
