Presentation
Holy Week is doubtless the fullest period of the Christian liturgical calendar, featuring the essential points of the faith’s meaning and mystery. This time was a source of inspiration for most of the Baroque composers. We have chosen to illustrate this week with several Tenebrae lessons. The genre is fairly ambiguous in the musical landscape of the era: it was indispensable to create music sufficiently sober to meet liturgical requirements by recalling the melismatic intimacy of the Gregorian. But, in spite of that, the works demonstrate considerable sophistication and thoroughly Baroque expressiveness, not hesitating to make syllabic use of the text.
