CONCERT “PASSIO”
Esposende Little Singers Choir and Ars Vocalis Choir
The Esposende Choir of Little Singers and the Ars Vocalis Choir come together to perform a work of great religious, spiritual and poetic depth, in its absolute premiere: The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ According to St John. Commissioned by the composer António Capitão Ribeiro, the work takes as its inspiration and major reference the Baroque style of writing, and in particular J.S. Bach's "Passions", which are an important milestone in the history of music. To the recitatives, with the narration of the Passion interpreted by the soloists, are added supplications and poetic meditations on the different events, in the form of chorales, choral motets, choral or instrumental interludes, which are sung with or without words, and a "Stabat Mater Dolorosa", a medieval poem that meditates on the suffering of Mary, Mother of Jesus, at the foot of the Cross.
Co-production: Esposende Municipality and Esposende Music School
Musical director: Helena Venda Lima
Support: Parish of Santa Maria dos Anjos - Esposende

CONCERT “IN CRUCE”
Esposende Mother Church Chamber Choir
The four evangelists tell us about Jesus' death on the Cross. Among the details they offer us, there are seven phrases spoken by Jesus before he expired. They are scattered among the four gospels, but tradition has organised them according to three planes or gazes of the crucified man.
This spiritual concert is therefore a proposal for meditation on The Seven Words of Jesus on the Cross.
The seven words of Jesus on the cross, which we find in the four gospels, are as follows:
1st "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Ma 15:33-36)
2nd Father, forgive them for they know not what they do (Lk 23:34-35)
3rd I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in Paradise (Lk 23:39-43)
4th Father, forgive them for they know not what they do (Lk 23:34-35)
5th Woman, here is your son; son, here is your mother (Jn 19:25-27)
6th Father, into your hands I commend my spirit (Lk 23:44-46)
7th I am thirsty (Jn 19:28-29)
8th All is accomplished (Jn 19:30)
