Poulenc Sacred Music
Collegium’s recording offers an extensive selection of Poulenc’s sacred choral music with the Gloria as centrepiece. Tristis est anima mea was written in 1938.
Tristis est anima mea usque ad mortem:
sustinete hic et vigilate mecum,
nunc videbitis turbam quae circumdabit me.
Vos fugam capietis, et ego vadam immolari pro vobis.
Ecce, appropinquat hora et Filius hominis tradetur in manus peccatorum.
Vos fugam capietis, et ego vadam immolari pro vobis.
(Matin Responsory for Good Friday)
My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death:
tarry ye here, and watch with me.
In a little while ye shall see a great multitude that compasseth me round about.
Ye shall flee, and I shall go to be sacrificed for you.
Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Ye shall flee, and I shall go to be sacrificed for you.
John Rutter, English composer and conductor, is associated with choral music throughout the world. His recordings with the Cambridge Singers (the professional chamber choir he set up in 1981) have reached a wide global audience, many of them featuring his own music in definitive versions. Among John’s best-known choral works are Gloria, Requiem, Magnificat, Mass of the Children, and Visions, together with many church anthems, choral songs and Christmas carols.
