Here is our version of  Tomas Luis de Victoria's polyphonic arrangement of "O Vos Ómnes."

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. 

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.  

Thank you so much for supporting our music! 

 Have a blessed Holy Week and Easter everyone!

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.

Perfect for Holy Week! Your grounding in early music undergirds the quality of your original compositions. (Don't be afraid to drop the bass an octave for a special effect. I believe it's been a possibility in use since Ockeghem's time.)

Beautiful performance of an ageless classic. I agree with the former comment that the use of a Basso Profundo would have added more character to the piece and would still be within the range of Victoria’s expectations. This is a beautiful presentation for Holy Week of the very special Good Friday text. Thank you!
