About Consummatum est II
Mariano Garau's Consummatum est II is a setting for SATB choir of Latin texts drawn from the Gospels, reflecting on the words spoken by Jesus on the cross. The work opens with a direct address to the daughters of Jerusalem, urging them to weep for themselves and their children, rather than for him. This is followed by the first of Jesus's seven last words, a prayer for forgiveness for his crucifiers. The piece continues with the thieves' plea and Jesus's promise of paradise, and the tender exchange between Jesus, his mother, and the beloved disciple. The sacred Latin text invites deep reflection on the events of the Passion.
