De profundis, for male chorus, percussion, and organYear: 1980
Genre: Other Choral
Pr. Instrument: Chorus/Choir (Male)
Dedicated to Gottfried von Einem, this 1980 work for four male voices, organ and percussion is a setting of Psalm 130:
Out of the depths have I cried unto thee,
O Lord…If thou, Lord, shouldst mark iniquities,
O Lord, who shall stand?
Suitably, the music begins in the lower register of the voices, gradually growing in intensity, only to diminish towards the end. The organ provides a very slow ostinato pattern in its deep register.
