Popule meus (Victoria)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Popule meus (My people) is a motet for Good Friday by Tomás Luis de Victoria. He set a liturgical text from the Improperia, which contains the Greek-Latin Trisagion, prescribed for use in the Catholic responsory for Good Friday. It begins "Popule meus, quid feci tibi?" (My people, what have I done to you?). The composition, scored for four voices, SATB, was published in Rome in 1585 in Officium Hebdomadae Sanctae (Office of the Holy Week).
