Four Motets for the Season of Lent, Francis Poulenc, SATB

Four Motets For The Season Of Lent - Quatre Motets pour un temps de penitence
Francis Poulenc

1. Timor et tremor
2. Vina mea electra
3. Tenebrae Factae Sunt
4. Tristis Est Anima Mea

Description
The pain and suffering of Passiontide is evoked in the austere texts of these four motets. Using somber, bittersweet harmonies and angular melodies alongside more comfortable, chorale-like textures, Poulenc creates rapid,effective changes of mood. Though the performance of this music is challenging, its passionate spirituality makes the task worthwhile.
