Is a profoundly moving auditory experience that aims to recreate the suffering of Jesus on his way to Calvary. Through masterful use of ostinatos and dissonant harmonies, Herrera vividly conveys the pain and anguish of this biblical episode.
The work stands out for its dramatic treatment of counterpoint, a distinctive characteristic of Herrera’s style. Additionally, the influence of Afro-Cuban music adds a layer of rhythmic and emotional richness, making Mortem a unique piece in its genre.
Ideal for audiences seeking an intense and emotive choral experience, Mortem is not only a musical representation of suffering but also a work of art that invites reflection and wonder.
Latin Text:
Tristis est anima mea usque ad mortem: Nunc videbitis turbam quæ circumdabit me. Crucifixus etiam pro nobis; sub Pontio Pilato passus
et sepultus est.
Translation:
My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death: Now you shall see the mob that will surround me. He was crucified also for us, under Pontius Pilate he suffered and was buried.
