Spotify Link: Coming Soon! https://www.twitter.com/ClamaviDe Released on Tuesday in Holy Week, 2020. Turn on Closed Captions for the English translation. My family and I sang this piece. For those who may not be Christian this text has much historical value and we are sure that everyone can relate to what is being sung in some way, as we all have dark times in our lives. When life seems darkest, often the brightest light is right around the corner, if we have the eyes to see it. This seems especially applicable in the times we are living through right now. Have a blessed Holy Week and Easter everyone! About the music: The music is a Renaissance polyphony as set by Tomas Luis de Victoria, normally sang at Tenebrae on Good Friday. Our interpretation was meant to communicate various sentiments that one might have while expressing this text and music. We sought to give this music an interpretation that befits its origins. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed singing it! Lyrics: Latin: O vos ómnes qui transítis per víam, atténdite et vidéte: Si est dólor símilis sícut dólor méus. V. Atténdite, univérsi pópuli, et vidéte dolórem méum. Si est dólor símilis sícut dólor méus. English Translation: O all you who walk by on the road, attend and see: if there be any sorrow like my sorrow. V. Attend, all people, and look at my sorrow: if there be any sorrow like my sorrow.
