My family and I sang this piece. 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. We hope everyone has a fruitful Lent and Happy Easter!
English Captions are available.
About the text:
This text is taken from Chapter 1 of the Lamentations of Jeremiah, verses 1-5. 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.
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". 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, and is our original tone based off the Mozarabic tones found in a Spanish codex optionally used for Tenebrae.
We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed singing it!
Lyrics:
English Translation:
[1] Aleph. How doth the city sit solitary that was full of people! how is the mistress of the Gentiles become as a widow: the princes of provinces made tributary!
[2] Beth. Weeping she hath wept in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks: there is none to comfort her among all them that were dear to her: all her friends have despised her, and are become her enemies.
[3] Ghimel. Juda hath removed her dwelling place because of her affliction, and the greatness of her bondage: she hath dwelt among the nations, and she hath found no rest: all her persecutors have taken her in the midst of straits.
[4] Daleth. The ways of Sion mourn, because there are none that come to the solemn feast: all her gates are broken down: her priests sigh: her virgins are in affliction, and she is oppressed with bitterness.
[5] He. Her adversaries are become her lords, her enemies are enriched: because the Lord hath spoken against her for the multitude of her iniquities: her children are led into captivity: before the face of the oppressor.
We hope everyone has a fruitful Lent and Happy Easter! We hope you enjoy the song:)
Thanks. Giving up Soda has been hard, but I’ll keep at it. Happy lent.
May you have a good Lent too. I really really loved it. Is there any chance we ever get something similar, but in Greek rather than Latin?
Absolutely love it! Gorgeous song! May your lent be fruitful and edifying as well.
Hey guys I love your videos and always enjoyed the songs. I have an amazing Latin Hymn you should do since we are in the time of Lent and coming towards Easter. I believe the hymn 'Anima Christi' would be amazing since you have the best voices for this. Would you consider doing it? It would make my world!
thank you brothers! Good lent and may Almighty God and His blessed mother guide you!
_”But thou hast utterly rejected us, thou art exceedingly angry against us.”_
Be sure to read around it or it just depresses you. He has not rejected or abandoned us but sometimes its necessary for a Father to punish his children
@@stopdeletingmyaccount125
Well, _He_ better pray to be truly allmighty because the day I lay my eyes on _His_ cerulean smug for a face, I gonna pull every single holy tooth with my fist.
A "god" who doesn't help his so called "children" in times of need is either cruel or incompetent.
The Bible translated: "God's mad."
I’m a simple man: I see a Clamavi De Profundis song, I click.
May the Lord be with us all during these hard times.
Unlike many, I come for the sacred music, especially sung in Latin. Keep it going!
I hope some Easter we get Victimae Paschali Laudes. Or O Filii et Filiae.
Same!
Filii et Filiae would make me so happy!
Both excellent suggestions!
We read this and weep over the destruction of the Temple every year on the 9th of Av.
I am not a Catholic, a Lutheran by birth and by continued choice. I have a lot of both respect for our Catholic brothers and sisters and read any of the books of the Bible I can get my hands on. Have a good day brothers and sisters in Christ, May your Kent’s be fruitful.
Read the Church Fathers and come home
As someone who is not Christian, I can appreciate the beauty and artistry with which this was both written and sung.
Fair enough.
If you don't mind my asking, why aren't you a Christian?
@@ethanrichard4950 What a weird thing to ask. Everyone is different, and 69% of people globally are not Christians. I am not a Christian because I personally do not believe in Christianity. That doesn't mean I can't appreciate art produced by Christians, however.
@@TheRealSkeletor I agree. A lot of people aren't Christians and people can enjoy Christian music regardless.
But, most of the world is religious in some aspect, believing in God/gods,
Or at least some higher being. It is the minority to believe in No creator. I think that's in part to the fact that we know the universe had a beginning. We can easily extrapolate God from a beginning, I think.
It is beautiful, bit I am fairly certain that the jews of the desperation era did not write in Latin.
@@ethanrichard4950 I mean, I *AM* a Christian, but its a little weird to suppose that someone who isn't a Christian has a reason for not being a Christian. Rather, suppose that all Christians have a reason FOR being a Christian. Its hardly the default state.
Your renditions of religious songs are always so great.
Always look forward to the end of Lent, as I know another beautiful chant is coming out. Thank you as always.
Brought literal tears to my eyes. Beautiful!
A beautiful rendition of one of the greatest chants of the entire liturgical year.
Happy Lent!
More sacred music from y’all is always amazing! ❤️
This hits hard as it projects exactly what is today. May God forgive us and restore us.
The voices of the "He" passage are... their harmonic is just so terrific.
The sequel we didn't know we needed
Im your korean fan
Спасибо огромное.
Большая - большая благодарность! Ждём Воскресения!
Currently learning biblical Hebrew atm and love the breaks with the Hebrew letters. Also love the Latin! Great song, keep up the good work!
Muito lindo, obrigada pelo presente. Abraços do Brasil.🌻
Beautiful, as always!
Such a powerful rendition 😢😢
Beautiful as always
great song
Absolutely wonderful. I found myself longing to hear the next aleph, to hear what the next individual voice brought to the soundscape.
Thank you so much for making this amazing content . 🙏
What a great track - as always!
Thanks Christoph!
Joyous Lent!
The beauty of the Bible will always be a masterpiece. Remember the verse about the Eagles?
I doubt it's what you meant, but Habakkuk 1:8 has a comparison to an eagle which turns up in Stanford's 'For Lo, I Raise Up'. I find this an exciting and evocative piece of music. If you don't know this, here's a link:

@@Sathrandur Oh sorry, I meant Isaiah 40:31
Why didn't the eagles just fly the cross to the top of the mountain
@@johnny4560
😂 Good reference
@@johnny4560 I think that's kinda blasphemous, but I can't help it, I'm laughing.
That start reminded me so much of Death Note, and then I remembered whole music in Death Note is taken from mass....Aside from that I really got into latin and church music again thanks to you guys. Though dwarven songs are special too
Loving your videos from Nigeria
I remember exactly when it was posted some years ago (maybe in Eastern times). Today I listen to that again. Divine.
Glorious! Thank you.
just there playlisting all your work
wow, it's like I am looking at the Judgement of God on the Christian West. Everything in this lamentation is 100% on the nail!!!
Catchy as a song. Good verse too
Love this! Please do Salve Regina - solemn tone.
Another great addition to the channel!
Always make my day
Amazing music!
Waaww❤❤❤❤ i absolutely luv it🙏🙏🎵🎶
Another masterpeice to praise the Lord!
IT'S HAPPENING!! IT'S FINALLY FINALLY HAPPENING!!!
In Nomine Patris, et Fili, et Spiritus Sancti.
Based as always
This is great, do more like this.
Very nice, I would enjoy even more hearing the whole poem !
Bas Profundo, Lamentations 1-5, is one is my favorite. And Book of Iyob (Job). Amin and Amen
At last!
Thank you! Do you think you could sing Pange Lingua?
Wow, I didn't understand any of that! But I did enjoy it.
There are English captions if you want to turn them on.
@@ClamaviDeProfundis Ah, you thought to accommodate your non-Catholic fans. Very cool.
Jerusalem Jerusalem, convertere ad Dominum Deum tuum ❤❤ ❤
I want to thank you, Clamavi De Profundis, for getting me to read the Lamentations. I was brought up in a Christian family, but it's just now that I'm really starting to read the Bible for myself.
So, after I heard your version of Lamentations 1:10-14, I went to read them. And I was enraptured at the extended primal scream of grief and despair. They're absolutely brilliant. And I read them because of you. Thank you.
O vos omnes qui transitis per viam, attendite, et videte si est dolor sicut dolor meus! quoniam vindemiavit me, ut locutus est Dominus, in die irae furoris sui!
So said Our Lady to the Jews, from the Foot of the Cross.
I don't know if you noticed, but the alphabetical acrostic used in the first, second and fourth chapters of the book are not in the usual order: 'Ayin (ע) normally comes before Peh (פ), but here the order is reversed. The reason for this is the false prophets said with their mouth (פה) what they did not see with their eye (עין).
?
Hmm.
Could you do the canticle of Zechariah?
Have you guys considered doing a version of Nella Fantasia? That song would be amazing. It's great music.

Very Nice. May God Bless you for this effort !!!! 👌 🙏👍
A humble request - Am from India 🇮🇳. So, English Subtitles should help (or atleast if you can quote the Bible verses) from the book of Jeremiah which is being sung....✌️✝️
There are english captions if you turn them on.
Oh okay, Thank you 😊
That helps..!!!
Im not a particularly religious person, but i LOVE your renditions of religious music, and quite honestly, it stirs the spirit within me.
Ive always said, i may not be a believer, but i would be on the battlefield right beside the crusaders, fighting as a soldier of god amongst my holy brothers.
Gaudete is one of my favorite songs
@@xunqianbaidu6917 HAH. We should be crusading more often. I probably dont believe because of people like you.
Perhaps "Via Dolorosa" next year?
The pronunciation of liturgical Latin always rubs me the wrong way because I studied classical Latin, but it's beautifully sung nonetheless.
Do you have a PDF of the chant notations for this piece? I’d like to reproduce it with some friends of mine if possible. Thank you!
I don't remember this song from The Hobbit....
This is starting to approach liturgical standards.
Why Latin? The Greek Septuagint and Hebrew Masoretic texts are available. Is this just what you're most familiar with in reference to the text?
We explain in the description.
Hm I heard sacerdotes pronounced zakerdotes, what's right?
The problem with Latin pronunciation is that every country that has a unique language has its own and it is not the same as the original pronunciation ;)
@@TheMizymod That's not actually true. This is the sacred language of the Church, and the Church has a standardized pronunciation. Latin Mass and Gregorian chant sound the same in any country throughout the world.
@@lilyw.719 Ecclesial Latin :)
@@lilyw.719 so what pronunciation is right?
@@Demetrius900000 Define "right."
There are various accepted Latin pronunciations that are used in different contexts. There's ecclesiastical Latin, which is appropriate for Gregorian chant, there's classical Latin which is appropriate for, say, reciting Catullus, and there's medical/scientific Latin, which is kind of a bastardization.
Luke Ranieri has several videos on the differences in Latin pronunciations on his polýMATHY UA-cam channel. Check him out if you're interested. He does a great job explaining it.
The Bible fandom is eating good
I would LOVE to get an opinion of a Jew who has listened to this! What is your reaction to this? Moving or weird? Would love to hear!
Personally, I loved it. It matches the tone of the text and the traditional Hebrew cantilation very well.
I'm Jewish. We read this (in Hebrew) every year on the 9th of Av, the day of mourning for the destruction of the Temple and for other calamities that have befallen our people throughout the ages.
Overall, I enjoyed it. The singing is gorgeous and the melody is appropriate for the mood. I will say that it is a bit... odd, I guess, to hear it chanted in the language of the Romans, who were responsible for such harsh persecution of the Jewish people.
I also think that it's worth paying attention to how Lamentations is used in Christianity versus in Judaism. In Judaism it is recited to mourn the tragedies that befell the whole nation. In Christianity it gets taken out of that context and recited in commemoration specifically of the suffering of Jesus.
Roma, Roma convertere ad Dominum Deum tuum…
first
🙏🇺🇲🇮🇱🌏
If this is from the Old Testament why not sing it in Hebrew? Wouldn’t that be more accurate?
(Just asking out of curiosity)
We explain in the description. It is Gregorian Chant which is typically sung in Latin.
@@ClamaviDeProfundis ah thx i tend to check in the comments first and forgot to look in the description
The saddest tune of the music repertoire
Von wegen Hexe
The "Lamenting Prophet" is one of my favorites.
Why the vulgate?
Goosebumps, and more goosebumps.
😢😍🙌🏿
Love this.
Would you consider doing in English translation?
So beautiful as always, the gelling is perfect
I remember this series of lamentations when I pray for my country. God save the States!
This is your best one yet, out of the three
Lovely song.
