about

Lament of the Three Marys (Caoineadh na dTrí Muire)
This is also known as Caoineadh na Páise (The Passion Lament), and there have been many versions of it throughout Ireland. It comes from a tradition of songs for the Easter period describing the passion of Christ. This lament brings the emotional intensity of the joys and sorrows of Mary as a mother, through conversations with herself, Peter, Jesus, and the Roman soldiers. The motifs of the text, originally in Latin, have connections to Europe and to the Middle Ages. My arrangement has three iterations of the melody, each in a different key. Through this device the music tells of three Marys who are lamenting the same man, each expressing their different views and stories of their love for him. I had a short section recorded with Dan and added it to the start of the piece as a powerful statement of the man who the women lament.
