About A - 27. neděle v mezidobí
Karel Bříza's responsory for two voices, S and T, are sacred settings in the Czech language. This work draws on a biblical text from Isaiah, likening the house of Israel to a vineyard that God has planted. The lyrics express a lament for the vineyard's ruined state and a plea for divine restoration. The composer's setting would have been intended for liturgical use, likely as a responsory within the liturgy of the Roman Catholic Church, perhaps for the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time. The intimate voicing for two parts offers a direct and clear delivery of the text's devotional message.
