Title: Caligaverunt oculi mei
Composer: Tomás Luis de Victoria

Description:
This moving work forms one of several responsories for Tenebrae. Like the other reponsories, this includes a verse, the response, a verse and another response. The response features a low setting for Altos, Tenors and Basses, and suprises the listener with a piercing treble/soprano note on the words "Si est dolor similis sicut dolor meus". Many people liken this to a cry of pain, as the words translate to "If there is any sorrow like my sorrow".

Latin.png Latin text Caligaverunt oculi mei a fletu meo: quia elongatus est a me, qui consolabatur me: Videte, omnes populi, si est dolor similis sicut dolor meus.

V: O vos omnes, qui transitis per viam, attendite, et videte si est dolor similis sicut dolor meus

English.png English translation My eyes are darkened by my tears: For He is far from me that conforted Me: See, O all ye people, if there be a sorrow like unto My sorrow

V. O all ye that pass by, behold and see if there be a sorrow like unto My sorrow
