Part
of the longer hymn
Pange lingua by
Venantius Fortunatus
(c.540-c.600), the Crux
fidelis features in
the Adoration of the
Cross during the solemn
liturgical actions of
Good Friday, and at Lauds
during Passiontide. The
reverence and awe of the
words resonate in the
poised strophes and
silences of Ronald Corp's
new setting for SATB, a
memorable addition to the
repertoire of music for
times of penitence, and
to the surprisingly small
corpus of
interpretations,
including those by Lennox
Berkeley, Adrian
Willaert, John Dunstable,
and King John IV of
Portugal (attributed), of
this text in
particular.
