SATB choir, a cappella
SKU: C5.5150
Composed by Colin Brumby. Text: Saint Matthew 26:75. Well-crafted a cappella motet for Holy Week or Lent. Lent, Holy Week. Octavo. Published by CanticaNOVA Publications (C5.5150).
Beautifully set in neo-Renaissance style, the masterful skill of Australian composer Colin Brumby is evident throughout this setting of the simple text: "Priusquam gallus cantet, ter me negabis: et egressus foras, flevit amare. Translation: "Before the cock crows, thou wilt deny me thrice: and going forth, he wept bitterly." Because the text comes from the Passion according to Saint Matthew [26:75], this motet is particularly appropriate on Palm Sunday (Year A) or on Good Friday. It also has broader use for any liturgy with a penitential flavor, due to its focus on sorrow for sin shown by Saint Peter's denial of Christ and his later remorse. The motet is divided in two parts; the second part of the text, "and going forth, he wept bitterly," begins with a point of imitation and contains a brillant five-measure "choral melisma" on the word egressus ("going forth"). The vocal ranges are well within the scope of a parish choir: Soprano: D (above middle C) - F / Alto: G (below middle C) - C / Tenor: C (below middle C) - F / Bass: low G - middle C/. The choral lines are wonderfully singable and well-crafted, making this a great addition to your library.
