The piece was composed in 2010 and premiered on May 15, 2010, in the Basilica of San Lorenzo in Florence, Italy. The work is divided into three movements, each with its own distinct characteristics. The first movement, "Tulerunt Dominum meum," is a solemn and contemplative setting of the text from the Gospel of John, which describes the arrest of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. The music is characterized by a slow and steady tempo, with rich harmonies and a sense of restrained emotion. The second movement, "Ecce Homo," is a more dramatic and intense setting of the text from the Gospel of John, which describes the trial and condemnation of Jesus before Pontius Pilate. The music is characterized by a faster tempo, with driving rhythms and dissonant harmonies that convey a sense of conflict and tension. The final movement, "Crucifixus," is a powerful and emotional setting of the text from the Nicene Creed, which describes the crucifixion and death of Jesus. The music is characterized by a slow and mournful tempo, with haunting melodies and rich harmonies that convey a sense of sorrow and loss. Overall, "Tulerunt Dominum meum" is a masterful work that showcases Presenti's skill as a composer and his deep understanding of sacred music. The piece is notable for its rich harmonies, expressive melodies, and powerful emotional impact, which make it a moving and memorable addition to the choral repertoire.
