Program Notes
I created this wind band transcription of Richard Burchard’s beautiful choral setting of O Vos Omnes in response to a commission from the Crestview (Florida) High School Band and their director, Jody Dunn.
O vos omnes is a part of the Roman Catholic choral liturgy for Holy Week. It has been set by several composers over many centuries. The text is adapted from Lamentations 1:12.
O vos omnes qui transitis per viam, attendite et videte: Si est dolor similis sicut dolor meus.
Attendite, universi populi, et videte dolorem meus. Si est dolor similis sicut dolor meus.
O all you who pass along this way: attend and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow.
Take note, all people and see my sorrow: if there is any sorrow like my sorrow.
- Program Note by transcriber
O vos omnes is a responsory, originally sung as part of Roman Catholic liturgies for Holy Week, and now often sung as a motet. The text is adapted from the Latin Vulgate translation of Lamentations 1:12. It was often set, especially in the sixteenth century, as part of the Tenebrae Responsories for Holy Saturday.
