Ernst Krenek - Lamentatio Jeremiæ Prophetæ, IV, V, VI





RIAS Kammerchor

Marcus Creed

The Lamentations of Jeremiah are chanted on Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday.  These are the three readings for Good Friday.   

I'd never heard Krenek's settings of the Lamentations before looking for settings other than those in 16th century polyphony.  His follow the liturgical order traditional in Catholicism and elsewhere.  They fit the feeling I have this season, this year.
