'A mortuis resurgere' is a choral work composed by Spanish composer Jorge Grundman. The title translates to "To rise from the dead" in Latin. The piece was composed in 2011 and premiered on November 5th of the same year in Madrid, Spain. The work is divided into three movements, each with its own distinct character. The first movement, "Introitus," is a solemn and mournful piece that sets the tone for the entire work. The second movement, "Dies Irae," is a powerful and dramatic piece that features the choir singing in unison, creating a sense of urgency and impending doom. The final movement, "Lux Aeterna," is a peaceful and uplifting piece that brings the work to a hopeful and optimistic conclusion. The piece is characterized by its use of traditional choral techniques, such as polyphony and homophony, as well as its use of dissonance and unconventional harmonies. The composer also employs a variety of vocal techniques, such as whispering and chanting, to create a sense of otherworldliness and mystery. Overall, 'A mortuis resurgere' is a powerful and moving work that explores themes of death, resurrection, and the afterlife. Its use of traditional choral techniques and unconventional harmonies make it a unique and memorable addition to the choral repertoire.
