Até quando

Axel Bergstedt's SATB setting of Até quando is a sacred work in Portuguese. The text opens with a series of anguished questions to God, asking how long the speaker must endure suffering and sorrow. This profound plea gradually shifts to an expression of unwavering faith and trust in divine grace and love. The composer captures this journey from despair to hope, culminating in a powerful affirmation of salvation and the reassurance of God's guiding hand. The music reflects the emotional arc of the text, offering solace and strength through its moving harmonies and melodic lines.
