Thursday, the Christian church celebrates two great symbols from the Maundy Thursday service, which are pillars of Christianity -- the Washing of the Feet and the Last Supper. During the Washing of the Feet, the music is often set to the beautiful text of Ubi Caritas et Amor: Where charity and love are, God is there. Featured are three a capella settings.

It's not a phone backlight. There was at least one photographer taking pictures presumably for press/publicity. As the concert was almost completely lit by candle light, the photographers were using the focus assist lights on their cameras. It's a brief burst from one of those that appears at 2:20. There are a few other points in the the concert where they appear too. For some reason the video cameras resolve them as blue/violet rather than the red that they appear to the naked eye.

"Ubi" is another of those lyrics (like O Magnum Mysterium, or O Sacrum Convivium), that, having been made famous by a very special treatment (in this case, by Durufle), has suddenly come to enjoy a vogue among composers, none of whom begin to approach the wonder of the motet that inspired them. Beautifully performed here, but the piece is nondescript, except for the chant quotation at the end. Composers seem to strive for all the lush benefits of linear tonal and modal harmony, without giving us anything interesting to compel us to follow the musical train of thought. That is because the linear trajectory of the piece depends entirely on the text, for which the music is a mere accessory. Perhaps it should be the other way around. Why can't the text be a vehicle for something musically memorable, and compelling? I guess that means a certain tunefulness which is not really in vogue right now. This current trend of shapeless, hyper-consonance is yielding only mood music that might be suitable for documentary films about the far North. Maybe, in our frenetic world, this appeals for its soothing character.
@alexgunnarson8 жыл бұрын
+scmager I entirely agree. Very few musical works I've come across have both the tonal and modal harmony you describe, as well as "tunefulness" and directionality. For instance, I would love Whitacre's music - the harmony is so interesting - if it didn't have a frustrating lack of direction so much of the time (with a few exceptions). So much new music is interesting or even moving at a particular time-slice but rarely does it hold that interest or wonder for longer than a few seconds as it loses focus while holding a texture or harmony for too long without much corresponding melody. For this reason I tend to like a lot of Ola Gjeilo's music, which seems to me to have both soothing dissonances and a clear direction.

@lionsmaine12386 жыл бұрын
I honestly find Ola Gjeilo's music to be highly overrated. It's gotten so overly sweet and there's just nothing that I find particularly interesting about it. There's plenty of lyrical, gushy choral music to go around with composers like David Childs, Elaine Hagenberg, Susan LaBarr, et cetera. Although I greatly enjoy listening to their music, I find contemporary compositions like this to be quite refreshing as well.

So you would sing "Aw Magnum Mysterium"? No, I don't think so. I think it's a case that it's more difficult to properly eunciate the O. Some in my choir also have difficutly with enunciating a good Latin "I". It comes across as "ih" rather than "ee".
