"The Crucifixion" by Samuel Barber

“At the cry of the first bird,
They began to crucify Thee, O Swan!
Never shall lament cease because of that.
It was like the parting of day from night.
Ah, sore was the suffering borne
By the body of Mary’s Son,
But sorer still to Him was the grief
Which for His sake
Came upon His Mother.”
Thanks to our voice-quartet in-resident soprano, Sage DeAgro-Ruopp, and our Director of Music, Younkyung Rhea Kim, for this captivating performance.
