This program by Ensemble O Vos Omnes (L’Auditori’s resident choir) contrasts two works on the same theme. First, the prophet Jeremiah’s Book of Lamentations from the Old Testament, very probably compiled in the 6th century BC has been set to music. The book’s mournful laments conjure up the destruction of Jerusalem and the Jewish people’s exile. The concert includes the version by Joan Pau Pujol (1570-1626), a Catalan composer who trained in Mataró and worked as an organist in Tarragona and Barcelona.

The second work is one that the choir itself has revived: a piece by Bernat Icart, who it is thought was born in Camp de Tarragona. Relatively little is known about this 15th-century composer and his music, except that he worked for the Kingdoms of Sicily and Naples in the service of the Renaissance Castilian monarchy.

Don’t miss this special concert in the Santa Maria del Pi church.
