Tenebrae Factae Sunt
Publisher | Cypress Choral Music - from Canada |
Composer | Ramona Luengen |
Voice/Instrument | SATB - a cappella |
Difficulty | Unrated |
This is a challenging work for unaccompanied mixed chorus and alto solo. The biblical text refers to the last hours of Christ on the cross, when "darkness covered the earth." The work employs a relatively consonant yet contemporary harmonic language and requires controlled, dramatic and well-tuned ensemble singing.
