NOTES FROM THE COMPOSER (www.zrstroope)
This is a study of universal human emotions. Suffering, anger, self-pity, frustration - to a greater or lesser degree - is common to all human beings. This work captures five very different, but intertwined emotions: feeling grief-stricken (opening "moans" as Jeremiah is collapsed in rubble of destroyed Jerusalem); striking out in anger at those who pass by ("o vos omnes"); completely consumed in self-pity ("Si est dolor"); enraged/pleading to perceived abandonment ("recordare Domine"); and the inability to effectively face waves of overwhelming circumstances (final section - "Recordare! O vos omnes! O Domine!...).
Commissioned by TEXAS CHORAL DIRECTORS ASSOCIATION.
