What remains when time and history have taken their toll? This Lenten program centers on the three surviving Troisième Leçons de Ténèbres by Michel-Richard DeLalande, each drawn from a different day of the Tenebrae office and all that remain of a once-complete cycle. Their incompleteness becomes part of the meditation, bearing witness to both loss and endurance. Interwoven with these works are French Baroque tombeaux and laments, musical memorials shaped by grief and remembrance. The program concludes with Charpentier’s Stabat Mater, a setting that stands at the foot of the cross, holding sorrow without resolution.
Presented in the spirit of Lent, this concert invites listeners into a posture of stillness and attentive presence, where grief is neither explained nor overcome, but gently held, and where listening itself becomes an act of compassion.
