About this arrangement

SATB (English) Choral (SATB Choir) SKU: HL.50483213 Complete Edition/English Text. Composed by Francis Poulenc. Edited by Hugh Ross. Choral. Sacred. Part. Composed 2002. 29 pages. Editions Salabert #SLB00173300. Published by Editions Salabert (HL.50483213). UPC: 073999832136. 6.7x10.6 inches. Latin.The pain and suffering of Passiontide is evoked in the austere texts of these four motets. Using somber, bittersweet harmonies and angular melodies alongside more comfortable, chorale-like textures, Poulenc creates rapid, effective changes of mood. Though the performance of this music is challenging, its passionate spirituality makes the task worthwhile.
