Ensemble O Vos Omnes contrasts two works on the same theme: the prophet Jeremiah’s Book of Lamentations from the Hebrew Bible, very probably compiled in the 6th century BCE. The book’s mournful laments, relating the destruction of Jerusalem and the exile of the Jewish people, have been set to music in different adaptations throughout Europe’s history. O vos Omes brings us versions by Joan Pau Pujol and Bernat Icart.
Tonight’s program was recorded live in concert April 12 2023 in Barcelona’s Basilica Santa Maria del Pi, as part of the Festival Llums d’Antiga. Thanks to WFMT’s Association with the European Broadcasting Union, we’re able to bring you tonight’s program as a stream for thirty days following the broadcast. Listen on demand at WFMT.com.
