Et occurent daemonia

Jens Klimek sets a passage from the Book of Isaiah, chapter 34, verse 14, in Latin. The text describes a scene of desolation and the presence of demonic creatures. Klimek's setting for SATB choir explores the dramatic and unsettling nature of this biblical prophecy. The music aims to capture the ancient, foreboding atmosphere of the text, employing the vocal forces to depict the imagery of the beasts and the cries described in Isaiah's vision. This sacred choral work offers a powerful and evocative interpretation of a seldom-set scriptural passage, suitable for choirs seeking substantial and impactful repertoire.
