Ajoutée par magataganm, 02 Fév 2013 Jacquet of Mantua (1483–1559) was a French composer of the Renaissance, who spent almost his entire life in Italy. He was an influential member of the generation between Josquin and Palestrina, and represents well the transitional polyphonic style between those two composers. "O vos Omnes" is a responsory, originally sung as part of Roman Catholic liturgies for Holy Week, and now often sung as a motet. The text is adapted from the Latin Vulgate translation of Lamentations 1:12. It was often set, especially in the sixteenth century, as part of the Tenebrae Responsories for Holy Saturday. Some of the most famous settings of the text are by Tomás Luis de Victoria (two settings for four voices: 1572 and 1585), Carlo Gesualdo (five voices: 1603; six voices: 1611), and Pablo Casals (mixed choir: 1932). It's most profound Lyrics: "O vos omnes qui transitis per viam, attendite et videte: Si est dolor similis sicut dolor meus." (O all you who walk by on the road, pay attention and see: if there be any sorrow like my sorrow.) Although this piece was originally written for Chorus (SATB), I created this arrangement for Solo Concert (Pedal) Harp. |
