Thomas Tallis: Lamentations of Jeremiah I
The Tallis Scholars
Peter Phillips
Score: www.cpdl.org (Adam P. Cole)
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 lacrimae ejus in maxillis ejus:
non est qui consoletur eam ex omnibus caris ejus:
omnes amici eius spreverunt eam, et facti sunt ei inimici.
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, convertere ad Dominum Deum tuum.
=== ENGLISH ===
Here begins the Lamentation of the Prophet Jeremiah.
Aleph.
How desolate lies the city that was once thronged with people.
The one-time queen of nations has become as a widow.
Once a ruler of provinces, she is now subject to others.
Beth.
By night she weeps in sorrow and tears run down her cheeks.
Of all who love her, there's none to console her.
All her friends have spurned her and have become her foes.
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, turn to the Lord, your God.

"Plorans ploravit in nocte" One of the most sublime phrases of music I've ever heard. Thank you God and Tallis!!

[@DrewLevitt]

Hey! Don't knock satanism - satanists have plenty of reason to celebrate the remarkable human achievement contained in this masterpiece. Whoever disliked this is just an idiot.

Me, I am not satanist, but Satan himself. Come to me!
