Too late for #throwbackthursday but posting anyway.
Too late for #throwbackthursday but posting anyway. I don't know why I suddenly remembered this, although I'm pretty sure it has to do with Leonard Cohen and "Hallelujah". It has way too many meta touchstones, but still, it is that much more meaningful, if painful.
Final chorus from Carissimi's oratorio Jepthe
Translation of the words:
Weep, children of Israel,
weep, all ye virgins,
and for Jephthah’s only daughter,
lament with songs of sorrow.
Fair warning, do not listen unless you find crying cathartic.
