Lassus: Tristis est anima mea

My soul is sorrowful even unto death;
stay here a while, and watch with me:
now you shall see the mob that will surround me.
You shall take flight, and I shall go to be sacrificed for you.

You can hear Lassus’ beautiful setting of this text in the Tenebrae service on Wednesday night at the Church of the Advent, or below in the video (complete with non-relevant theory analysis).
