About the Score
A setting of the famous words from the book of Lamentations for SATB chorus unaccompanied. This text is often set in a very explosive, lamenting manner. Many renowned composers have contrasted outbursts of anger and hatred with hushed introspective moments in their settings. My interpretation is very non-traditional one, in that it is a prayerful setting. One in which the speaker puts all trust and faith in the lord and asks for his interference in his or her life. Dissonance is very much present in this setting but in a more embracing manner, it is not used in ways that will discomfort the listener.
