Fisher, Alexander J., ed
The Lacrumae Divae Virginis et Joannis in Christum a cruce depositum (Tears
of the Blessed Virgin and John at the Deposition of Christ from the Cross) is
a cycle of eight motets composed by Gregor Aichinger (1564-1628) and published
at Augsburg in 1604. Setting the Latin poetry of the Augsburg patrician and
humanist Marcus Welser, Aichinger composed these dialogues between Mary and
John the Evangelist in the expressive language of the late Renaissance motet
for an ensemble of five and six voices. The cycle is remarkable for its
connection to a bronze sculptural group depicting Mary, John, and Mary
Magdalene at the foot of the cross, executed by Hans Reichle and erected in
the Benedictine basilica of SS. Ulrich and Afrawhere Aichinger served as
organistin 1605, creating an aural-visual complex that encouraged viewers and
listeners to meditate on the mysteries of the Crucifixion.
