A morrer crucificado (Via Sacra) II — Lyrics
A morrer crucificado,
teu Jesus é condenado,
por teus crimes, pecador.
Pela Virgem dolorosa,
Vossa Mãe tão piedosa,
perdoaime bom Jesus.
Com a cruz é carregado
E do peso acabrunhado
Vai morrer por teu amor.
Pela cruz tão oprimido
Cai Jesus desfalecido
Pela tua salvação.
De Maria lacrimosa
Sua mãe tão dolorosa
Vê a imensa comoção.
Em extremo desmaiado,
Deve auxílio, tão cansado,
Receber do Cireneu.

About A morrer crucificado (Via Sacra) II
This setting of traditional Portuguese lyrics depicts the sorrowful journey of Christ to the cross. The TTB voicing allows for a rich, resonant texture that powerfully conveys the lamenting character of the text. The music reflects the weight of sin and the sacrifice made for humanity, with moments of profound sadness and quiet reflection. The anonymous composer skillfully uses the male voices to express the drama and pathos of the Via Sacra, drawing the listener into the deep emotional narrative of Christ's suffering and the Virgin Mary's grief. This is a moving sacred work suitable for reflection and contemplation.
