Product Details
Description
Krzysztof Penderecki composed Dies Irae for the international inauguration ceremony of the memorial to the murdered victims in Auschwitz- Birkenau on 16 April 1967. He chose Bible texts, quotations from the ‘Eumenides’ by Aischylos as well as contemporary Polish and French poems which he had translated into Latin (except for the Greek quotations) to provide them with timeless validity.
With regard to the music, the three-part work is structured like a large crescendo-decrescendo. It gradually builds up from the first soft melismas of the choir basses in the introductory ‘Lamentatio’ to tremendous outbursts in the ‘Apocalypsis’ and finishes with the triple pianissimo of the double basses in the third part ‘Apotheosis’.
