Poulenc, Four Motets for Lent [HL:50407100]

Four Motets for Lent.
Francis Poulenc.
(Francis Poulenc)
Tristis est anima mea.
Published by Editions Salabert.
Series/Edition: Choral.

The pain and suffering of Passiontide is evoked in the austere texts of these four motets. Using somber, bittersweet harmonies and angular melodies alongside more comfortable, chorale-like textures, Poulenc creates rapid, effective changes of mood. Though the performance of this music is challenging, its passionate spirituality makes the task worthwhile.
