Feria 6. in Parasceve by Fabrizio Dentice — Lyrics
Incipit Lamentatio Jeremiae prophetae.
ALEPH. Quomodo sedet sola civitas plena populo!
Facta est quasi vidua domina gentium;
princeps provinciarum facta est sub tributo.
BETH. Plorans ploravit in nocte, et lacrimæ ejus in maxillis ejus:
non est qui consoletur eam, ex omnibus caris ejus;
omnes amici ejus spreverunt eam, et facti sunt ei inimici.
GHIMEL. Migravit Judas propter afflictionem, et multitudinem servitutis;
habitavit inter gentes, nec invenit requiem:

About Feria 6. in Parasceve
Fabrizio Dentice's setting of the Lamentations of Jeremiah for SATTB voices opens with a profound sense of desolation. The polyphony, in five parts, immediately establishes a somber and reflective mood, mirroring the sorrowful text. The composer skillfully uses the vocal lines to depict the prophet's lament over the destruction of Jerusalem and the suffering of its people. The music conveys the profound grief of the deserted city, once full of life, now rendered desolate and enslaved. The SATTB forces are employed with expressive depth, giving voice to the profound sadness and isolation described in the ancient Hebrew text, as the city's inhabitants face affliction and find no solace.
