Choir of the Basilica: Timor et Tremor

Описание к видео Choir of the Basilica: Timor et Tremor

Watch and listen to the Choir of the Basilica: “Timor et tremor” is a six-voice motet by Orlando di Lasso (1532–1594), a Franco-Flemish musician who also spent time in Rome, most notably working as the choirmaster of the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran. He preceded Palestrina in this role by only two years, but the two never met. This motet’s text is taken from several psalms, and it is most appropriate for the Lenten season. The first line translates to “fear and trembling have taken hold of me”, but the text continues on to ask the Lord to comfort us, for He is our refuge and strength.
