ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
Quatre motets pour un temps de pénitence (Four Penitential Motets), FP 97, are four sacred motets composed by Francis Poulenc in 1938–39.
He wrote them on Latin texts for penitence, scored for four unaccompanied voices.
The four motets are:
Timor et tremor
Vinea mea electa
Tenebrae factae sunt
Tristis est anima mea
The text for the first motet, Timor et tremor (Great fear and trembling), combines verses from psalms 54 and 30, which Orlando de Lassus had also set as a motet. The other three motets are based on three responsories for the Holy Week: “Vinea mea electa” (Vine that I loved as my own), a responsory for the matins of Good Friday, “Tenebrae factae sunt” (Darkness fell upon the Earth), a responsory for the matins of Holy Saturday, and “Tristis est anima mea” (Sad is my soul and sorrowful), a responsory for the matins of Maundy Thursday.
A performance of the work will last for approximately 13 minutes.
