Released on Holy Thursday, 2017.
My family and I sang this piece. My brother drew the beginning art. For those who may not be Christian this text has much historical value and we are sure that everyone can relate to what is being sung in some way, as we all have dark times in our lives. When life seems darkest, often the brightest light is right around the corner, if we have the eyes to see it. Happy Easter everyone!
About the text:
This text is taken from Chapter 1 of the Lamentations of Jeremiah, verses 10-14. Jeremiah was a prophet of the Old Testament who lived during, and wrote concerning, the Babylonian captivity of the Israelites (608-538 BC). There is a book of his writings in the Bible named after him, but there is also a separate book of his writings called "Lamentations" which contain powerful sentiments of sorrow, mourning all that Israel had lost due to their unfaithfulness to God.
Each verse is introduced by a Hebrew letter as the verses go through the Hebrew alphabet. This is because the first word of the verses in Hebrew begins with that letter. These texts are amazingly ordered. For example, Lamentations chapter 1 verse 1 begins with the letter "Aleph" which is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Verse two begins with the letter "Beth" which is the second letter. Since we are doing verses 10-14, these verses begin with "Yod, Kaph, Lamed, Mem, and Nun" which are the 10-14th letters of the Hebrew alphabet. There are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet, and Jeremiah wrote 22 verses in this lamentation, one for each letter.
Several texts from the Lamentations, including this one, are used in the Divine Office of the Catholic liturgy on Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday: the three days surrounding the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ. The liturgy in which these texts are used is called "Tenebrae" or "Darkness". This excerpt is sung on Holy Thursday, which is why we are releasing it today. The text is in Latin because that is the language that the western Church chose to use in its liturgies.
About the music:
The music you are hearing is a special sort of Gregorian chant, though it is not a typical selection of chant as compared to what is prescribed for most of the Catholic Church's liturgies. This is a special tone that is only used during Tenebrae, and is for optional use (meaning, there are different tones that could be used when this text is sung). This tone is from a Spanish codex, and we chose it because it seems to paint the words with a unique power, as if making them as real as upon the day they were written by the hand of Jeremiah.
Thanks to our diverse voice ranges, we arranged this piece into 3 separate octaves, pitched on a D, it follows a chiastic structure, beginning in the low octave, going to the middle octave, then to the high octave, back to the middle octave, and ending in the low octave.
We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed singing it!

Lyrics:
English Translation:
[10] Jod. The enemy hath put out his hand to all her desirable things: for she hath seen the Gentiles enter into her sanctuary, of whom thou gavest commandment that they should not enter into thy church.
[11] Caph. All her people sigh, they seek bread: they have given all their precious things for food to relieve the soul: see, O Lord, and consider, for I am become vile.
[12] Lamed. O all ye that pass by the way, attend, and see if there be any sorrow like to my sorrow: for he hath made a vintage of me, as the Lord spoke in the day of his fierce anger.
[13] Mem. From above he hath sent fire into my bones, and hath chastised me: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back: he hath made me desolate, wasted with sorrow all the day long.
[14] Nun. The yoke of my iniquities hath watched: they are folded together in his hand, and put upon my neck: my strength is weakened: the Lord hath delivered me into a hand out of which I am not able to rise.
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, be converted unto the Lord thy God.
Here is a new song we recorded. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we did singing it! Please read the description for more details.
Yes! I was waiting for something like this since "Song of Kings"
Clamavi De Profundis another great song, keep up the good work 😀😀😀
Truely awesome :D - have a brilliant and blessed Easter Triduum!
I love this! Thank you for making this video.
It truly feels magical and helps me to calm down and relax :)
milion thanks, happy Easter.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, Happy Easter to you all from Italy
Happy Easter 2019
Happy Easter 2020
Happy Easter 2022.
I would definitely love it if you did some of the Psalms like this. For me it is like hearing the Gregorian Chanting.
I have been entranced by you and your family's music since I first found your rendition of "Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold" and have loved listening to it all ever since. May the Lord bless you and your family as you continue.
Keep on speaking - praying - singing the Truth! May God richly reward you... for enriching his people with the truth that flows from your prayers! Thank you!
My eyes filled with tears. I miss the beauty and mystery of our Holy Faith. Thank you , Father. MayEaster and every dat be fukked wuth Bod's generous blessings for you.
You may like a channel called father lazarus, he brought me great faith and joy.
Please take what I'm going to say sincerely, the music your family produces is among my favorites that I've ever heard. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us. Have a blessed Easter.
Your entire family has such beautiful voices. God bless ❤
I just came home from Holy Thursday service. Your work here is lovely and fitting for today. Thank you and God bless.
the legends are true.... the double upload happened!
Ibadat Lamentasi or Lamentation Service is so populer in Flores a catholic island in Indonesia but unknown in the other provinces in Indonesia. I don't know why. That's why I miss lamentation service so much in holy week.
Thanks for your explanation about aleph beth etc...
Catholic here! God bless you for your work.
You should do MORE of this type of music. I'm in love with templar songs, religious chants etc. This is so peaceful.
You guys make great music. I'd totally listen to more songs from Scripture!
Clicked expecting the Tallis lamentations - was not disappointed.
Europa, Europa, be converted to the ways of the LORD thy GOD and put aside all strife, envy, wickedness, slander and deceit.
Funny I was inspired thinking about writing a Lamentation for the West :(
Merci pour ce voyage à travers le temps, qui nous rappelle nos racines et nos valeurs.
These are wonderful to have for Lent. I appreciate all your recordings of Lamentations, the beauty and sorrow blended. I believe this one is the best so far - I love the profundity of the deep basses in the last verse.
This channel is a perfect description of quality over quantity!
Hello Adrian
I'm honestly just waiting for an album to be released. Id be all over that!
Now this, I want more like this. It is outstanding.
Sublime! Alas, I wouldn't have the stamina for a full Tenebrae Office sung so perfectly. Vobis gratias!
So beautiful, praise the Most High God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob in Jesus Christ Holy Name 🙏🏼 love sister gloria nugin 📖🙏🏼❤️
I'm not a religious person and don't believe in a higher power, but I can appreciate excellent singing. Fantasic work. Have a happy easter!
FinDan From what I've learned about life so far, its good to be open to anything that can lead us to a higher understanding of our reality, basically, anything is possible to be true that is unknown to us. (Which is over 99% of our perception of reality we don't understand about yet). On the other hand, the music is much agreeable to be very wonderful.
Thank you, have a happy easter you too.
Perhaps the proof of Aristotle hep you
PLEASE... DO MORE!!! Others and I need it!!!!!
Laudetur Jesus Christus! Beautiful, as all of your work. May our only true triune God bless you all for spreading his glory, brothers. Greetings from the Czech republic!
Wow, when I listen to this, and see the imagery, I am taken to another place, another time... an ancient time
Please do fine these beautiful songs. This is astounding.
Nice! Would love to hear your version of "Dies Irae". Keep up the good work.
This is very haunting to listen to. I can feel the dread and fear behind his words as he awaits the destruction and chastisement of Israel...
Thank you for making more of these! ^ ^ Have a Happy Easter, and I look forward to your next videos!
i find that your songs create a new style of music that gives a individual a sense of awe and reverence
Moving. It raises the small hairs on the skin even for me who is not Christian. I do so appreciate the historical music.
shidorikuroko The music really does make you feel like you are going back to a long ago time that, in today's standards, is legendary.
Magnifique ! De la musique inspirée du grégorien qui a un rendu final sublime. Bon courage pour la suite !
God bless you from France !
Out of curiosity, have you considered singing this in the original Hebrew rather than the Latin translation? I've always loved the sound of Hebrew and you do some amazing stuff with Latin already.
They are singing the traditional Chants for Tennebrea in Holy Week (a truly beautiful liturgy).
It would be difficult, unwieldy and historically unnatural to try and sing that in Hebrew.
a very deep voices that touches the heart ! thanks for this beautiful piece of ART !
Finally, a worthy English-language choir. I already did not even hope.
yes! How about some Psalms?
KJ version! Sorry, the Catholic Psalms are not good poetry., IMHO.
Tell that to the gregorian chants!
Yup, I really want to listen to the Psalms with Gregorian Chanting melody in Hebrew language.
have you heard 91 preformed ? @@edwardhillenbrand6316
That's funnny, I actually was 3 years in the seminary and we sang it with this tone. So when I saw your new video I was like "well it wont be the Mozarabic tone but lets see. And it is! Youre the best ! "
I spent 4 years in the seminary too, and the Mozarabic tone (which comes out of the attic during the Sacred Triduum) is truly one of the things I miss most.
The vengeance of God is to be feared.
You guys are SO INCREDIBLY GIFTED! Thank you for sharing your talents with us!
Very haunting, and very sweet. Excellent work my family!
Your voices are perfect for Gregorian Chant. Please do more like these! :D
Every video you guys put out is a musical masterpiece, I never tire of listening to them, so please, keep up the good work!
breath taking!
Two in a row?!?!?!? Hot dang it's a miracle and in time for Easter too!!!!

Wow. Your family sings so beautifully. Thank you. And with some delay - Happy Easter to all of you!
This is the first time I see such a wonderful rendition of a chant in Latin! Incredible performance, from an agnostic's point of view
Great job guys! I was wondering, since your channel is called Clamavi de Profundis, why don't you sing Psalm 129? Another idea maybe Psalm 51 or Dies Irae?
Guuuys you are so awesome!!! Keep it up! I am always looking forward to your next upload.
Have a happy Easter and a Blessed Triduum! This is angelic as always! Please keep up the good work! God bless you and your family.
So beautiful! I would double like this if possible. Your family is amazing
It seems my notifications have failed me.
Nonetheless, great work as usual, and though I am late, blessed easter I wish you.

Very interesting and beautiful. Maybe try your own epic version of "Veni Veni Emmanuel" and other holiday chants for Advent and Christmas
I love this song and love this channel.
Absolutely Brilliant!!
Y'all just release like 3 songs on a week, it's too much greatness TOO QUICKLY!!!! Give us room to breathe.
All jokes aside never stop making these kinds of songs please. I will say that I prefer the style of singing as in Song od Kings, y'all really shined in that one
Looking forward to your version of verses 6-9 ❤
This is really beatiful! Keep it up!
Excellent as always. Happy Easter to everyone.
Please do more songs from the bible! I love it when familys do this kind of stuff! Could you possibly do some psalms or proverbs in hebrew?
Please create many more of these you are extremely talented this and song of kings are some of the most fantastic chant style videos of youtube, very useful for studying! (even if it is only a playlist of these two at the moment!)
All theses lamentations are from the heart. They all seeked justice And They've been answered. If you don't believe me check it out for yourself.
Beautiful, have a blessed Easter!

This is AMAZING!!!!! (although you guys messed up "Now we are free" a bit but you are such awesome singers that you are forgiven)
I'm a simple Israeli, I see Hebrew, I upvote
No but seriously It was very emotional to me, great song

Wyrafinowane piękno!
