Description

Crucifixus   duration: 12’

 

This piece is would be best sung at Easter. It opens with a melodic phrase with the words “Pie Jesu Domine” sung by a soloist and these words, along with “Agnus Dei” alternate with the words “Crucifixus.” The beauty of the words of “Agnus Dei” and “Pie Jesu Domine” are reflected in the melody, sometimes gentle, other times with a sorrowful tinge. Gradually the chorus infiltrates with the word “Crucifixus”, reminding us of the crowds calling for Christ’s crucifixion as it gains momentum with a sinisterly steady pulse, reaching ff. The various crucifixus sections alternate with further lyrics of the “Agnus Dei”  which uses combination of text in both Latin and English. The piece ends as it begun, with a beautifully innocent melody: “Pie Jesu Domine”.
