About This Song
About "De profundis, LWV 62: De profundis" by Choeur De Chambre De Namur
From the depths, Lully draws a slow, dark current of strings and voices. The Choeur de Namur intones the penitential psalm with restrained grief, the music a subterranean river of minor harmonies. Unease coils beneath the stately surface, as if hope is a distant candle flickering in a flooded crypt.
