About the work
O Vos Omnes waxes and wains in this sensitive setting for mixed choir that captures a deep and troubling sorrow.
Premiered by the Methodist University Chorale, March 2017 in Fayetteville, NC.
Text
O vos ómnes qui transítis per víam, atténdite et vidéte:
Si est dólor símilis sícut dólor méus.Atténdite, univérsi pópuli, et vidéte dolórem méum.
Si est dólor símilis sícut dólor méus.
O all you who walk by on the road, pay attention and see:
if there be any sorrow like my sorrow.Pay attention, all people, and look at my sorrow:
if there be any sorrow like my sorrow.
Notes
Dedicated to Michael Martin and the Methodist University Chorale.
Thank you for your friendship, wisdom, and endless inspiration.
