Haydn's "The Seven Last Words of Christ": The Crucifixion of the Earth
"Robert Bringhurst's sinewy language and acute formal intelligence now reveal poetry of vivacity and stature, which can be
enjoyed as a cultural treasure." Griffin Poetry Prize judges
"Marc Destrubé bared his soul without reserve, yet displaying gentlemanliness and humility".
- Neville Oliffe, Early Music News, Australia
In 1785 Josef Haydn wrote a chamber work based on the Biblical seven last words spoken by Christ on the cross. Traditionally, the words or phrases are spoken, followed by a meditation on those words, then by the music. EMV, in collaboration with Green College at UBC, have invited renowned BC poets Robert Bringhurst and Jan Zwicky to prepare poetry for each of the seven movements that stimulates a dialogue based on the universal human qualities in the text and also in Haydn's deeply affecting music.
