Ensemble VIII presents “Sacred Shadows – Victoria’s Tenebrae Responsories” on March 9th at Westlake Hills Presbyterian Church and March 10th at St. Louis Catholic Church Chapel. Both concerts begin at 7:30 p.m.
Translated as “shadows” due to the gradual extinguishing of all candles throughout the service, Tenebrae is celebrated on each of the three days of Holy Week that precede Easter—Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday. These most poignant services of the church year feature contemplative readings paired with related musical responses. Spanish composer Tomás Luis de Victoria’s setting of the Tenebrae responsories is a true masterpiece of extraordinary depth and beauty.
