Golijov matches the pared-down, vox populi directness of St. Marks account in the directness of his musical idiom, particularly in his appropriation of popular Latin American folk and dance music. He uses these forms as models for individual numbers with the larger work, which itself shares much in common with the structures of the Passions of Bach.
From the Steve Reichian pulsations of the opening bars, to the sultry rhythms accompanying Jesus betrayal to the other-worldly setting of the Kaddish (the Jewish prayer for the dead) with which the work concludes, Golijovs score is vibrant with energy, exoticism and passion!
This selection is sung in Aramaic, Hebrew, Latin and Spanish.
