	Lamentations
		Lamentations: 1:5 Her adversaries are the chief, her enemies prosper; for the LORD hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her children are gone into captivity before the enemy.
		Lamentations: 2:6 And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as [if it were of] a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the LORD hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.
		Lamentations: 4:6 For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on her.

	Amazon.ca: Lamentations: Music: Thomas Tallis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The two sets of Lamentations are supreme among Tallis's longer works, exhibiting full mastery of choral part-writing and effective use of harmonic and textural contrast.
		The outward solemnity of these works is sustained by the music's underlying impassioned, penitential mood--which finds ideal expression in the otherworldly beauty of these perfectly matched men's voices, which bring phenomenal interpretive and technical skill to each line and closing cadence.
		wonderful music from one of the greatest composers of the 16th century brilliantly performed.

		Lamentations and Praises is a meditation on the death of Jesus, presented in a series of musical "icons." The closest comparison of form might be The Stations of the Cross, the ancient ritual in which one contemplates the mystery of Christ's Passion by meditating on a series of images.
		The music of Tavener and the other "holy minimalists" is not a theatrical event as much as it is a state of being into which one enters for a time.
		Lamentations and Praises demands your full and prayerful attention; it is not background music to be played during a dinner party.

	Lamentations and Praises by John Tavener recorded by Chanticleer \| article by Martha Ainsworth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		John Tavener must be accustomed to confusing music critics; by uniting the ethos of the Orthodox Church and contemplative spirituality with concert music, he frequently perplexes those who listen through the lens of the last 400 years of Western classical music.
		Lamentations and Praises is a meditation on the death of Jesus, presented in a series of musical “icons.” Its name derives from a service contemplating Jesus’ burial, traditionally held on Saturday morning the day after Good Friday, a service known as “Lamentations” in some Orthodox traditions and “Praises” in others.
		Although the music stands on its own for its meditative power, the full impact of the work requires the visual element of movement, light and color that is part of its live performance.

	Music (Rome Reborn: The Vatican Library & Renaissance Culture)
		Throughout the Renaissance, music formed a central element in the activities of the curia and a bright thread in the rich tapestry of Roman religious and artistic life.
		This important manuscript of keyboard music is thought to be in the hand of the great keyboard composer, Girolamo Frescobaldi (1583-1643), who served as organist in Saint Peter's from 1608 until his death.
		This manuscript was copied towards the end of the fifteenth century and preserves a collection of polyphonic music to be sung during the office of vespers (hymns and Magnificats), as well as pieces performed during Mass (motets).

	History of Classical Music - Articles and Resources
		As the musical map opened up, with nationalist schools beginning to emerge, it was the search for originality and individuality of expression which began here that was to become such an over-riding obsession in the present century.
		The emotional range of music during this period was considerably widened, as was its harmonic vocabulary and the range and number of instruments which might be called upon to play it.
		Music often had a 'programme' or story-line attached to it, sometimes of a tragic or despairing nature, occasionally representing such natural phenomena as rivers or galloping horses.

	Opeth - Lamentations (Live at Shepherd's Bush Em Review - sputnikmusic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Lamentations is, to date, the only "Official" Opeth DVD out in the market, and in my opinion, an amazing effort by the band to allow the fans that can't catch them on tour in town to experience, at least second-hand, the feeling of one of today's most acclaimed Progressive Death metal band.
		The package is pretty much an extension of their albums out at the moment of its release (which were Deliverance and Damnation), and it's certainly focused in the promotion of the latest, therefore, having for the most part of the concert tracks from the latest album.
		Lamentations is definately my favourite music DVD, the first set allows me to play it to old people and they're like "oooh, this is lovely and relaxing", the second allows me to scare them.

		The choir of Clare College, Cambridge is one of the finest one can hear in that city and university, which means it’s also one of the finest of the cathedral or collegiate choirs in the United Kingdom.
		There are no notes about the music, at least some of which is likely to be unfamiliar to the general collector.
		The music is well chosen, mixing familiar items such as the Tallis ‘Lamentations’ and Tomkins’ masterly ‘When David heard’ (splendidly done here) with items that were less familiar at least to me, such as the typically original setting by Gesualdo.

	Emmanuel Music
		All of Bach’s cantatas for the Tenth Sunday after Trinity relate the prediction of the destruction of Jerusalem (in Luke 19: 41-48) to its first Testament antecedents, the Lamentations of Jeremiah and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.
		The music for the opening was later arranged by Bach for the “Qui tollis” in the B Minor Mass.
		While there is some sense of resolution in the alto aria, this gesture makes it clear that the sense of lamentation continues to permeate the whole work.

	Amazon.com: Tavener: Lamentations & Praises: Music: Chanticleer,Tavener (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The music, in Tavener's characteristic medieval, monastic, Byzantine style, is devout, contemplative, very slow, with endlessly sustained notes and chords, and based on structurally determined repetition.
		The subject is not a happy one, and the music conveys the sense of dread and anguish that was probably Tavener's intent.
		If you are new to Tavener, Lamentation and Praises is an excellent introduction to the "modern" period of his compositions that really started with Eternity's Sunrise, composed and performed in collaboration with the Academy of Ancient Music.

	John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
		These words, with what follow in Lamentations 3:35; either depend upon the preceding, and are to be connected with them, "he doth not afflict," &c.
		I [am] their music; or "music maker" {z}; as Samson was to the Philistines; the matter of their mirth; the subject of their song; and the object of their derision.
		Some have observed a likeness between the word here used and that translated "music," Lamentations 3:63; and think some respect may be had to it; that whereas the people of God had been matter of mirth and music to them, God would give them music, but of another sort; a song, but a doleful one.

	Various Elliott Carter albums (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The volume of quality music, including a number of masterpieces, to emerge from his pen in the past 20 years is remarkable.
		Carter's late-period music bristles with inventiveness and vigor, sacrificing little of its legendary complexity but radiating a warmth and directness of expression that is new to his aesthetic.
		The music may confuse you at first -- it did me -- but it so delights the ear with its surreal atmosphere and most absurd gamesmanship that you'll want to hear it again right away.

	Lies Damned Lies review by The Phantom Tollbooth
		The book of Lamentations is the sound of a lyrical voice looking over a broken landscape, the final admission that the Promised Land is in ruins; a voice of unbearable grief over the loss of home.
		Musically, this is an immensely powerful work which has won wide critical acclaim.
		The music is all relaxed, but coupled with these lyrics is something to sit back and meditate on more than an aid to relaxation.

	Alex Ross
		That classical music defines itself by the degree to which it is not entertainment, not popular music, not the sort of concert at which people make noise and have a good time.
		Followers of electronic music who are very aware of minimalist and the fifties-sixties avant-garde, who might be very interested in a program that makes connections between minimalism and DJ music.
		Our music should grip people of the blue — not trumpeted by any ideology, not dressed up in the garb of a certain class or a certain intellectual elite, but as the thing that’s playing now, the music that cannot be ignored, real and immediate and sensuous and deep.

		Lauds and Lamentations: Music of Elliott Carter and Isang Yun
		Never one to shy away from challenges, Gidon Kremer often confronts them in his recordings of new or unusual music, yet his expression is often under the cover of novelty, or shared with other players.
		In this 2005 recording of Bach's sonatas and partitas for violin solo, however, the challenges are all internal, as Kremer faces the music nakedly and directly, without recourse to cohorts, gimmicks, clever arrangements, or anything other than the notes on the page.

	IN PERFORMANCE: CLASSICAL MUSIC; Biblical Lamentations Not Expected to Be Heard - New York Times
		Ernst Krenek's ''Lamentations of Jeremiah'' was written amid the violence and cataclysm of World War II, but its biblical cries of pain, with their ready application to current events then and now, refine rawness and immediacy into an elegance and symmetry of great beauty.
		Krenek, who died in 1991, consciously based ''Lamentations'' both on Gregorian chant flowing free of bar lines and on the orderliness of Renaissance polyphony.
		What we savored on Thursday was the composer's skillful imitative counterpoint and unfailing equilibrium of design, not his connections to ruined cities and suffering citizenry.

		Blues And Lamentations, Campbell's new release from Large Music River is deeply connected to her native New Orleans roots while delivering the raw emotion of blues and country with a tinge of a Mississippi Delta sound.
		Campbell's music is profoundly pensive with a touch of sadness.
		While most people in the music business push towards commerce instead of art, Campbell draws your ears and heart closer to the unfathomable and obsessive life of living with the blues.

		The musical adaptation of Lamentations is centuries old and has managed to harbor a number of historical quirks worthy of explanation.
		The chant setting of the Lamentations respected the Vulgate and the initial letters provided for extended melismas (long groups of notes on the same vowel, something not traditional in Gregorian chant, but by no means rare as many alleluias have melismas).
