The righteous perishes are the words with which the 57th chapter of the Book of Isaiah starts.〔Isaiah 57:1–2 in WEB〕 In Christianity is associated with the death of Christ, leading to liturgical use of the text at Tenebrae. More generally, the text is associated with the death of loved ones and is used at burials. The 24th responsory for Holy Week, "Ecce quomodo moritur justus" (See how the just dies), is based on this text. As such, and in other versions and translations, the Bible excerpt has been set to music. ==Responsory "Ecce quomodo moritur justus"== "Ecce quomodo moritur justus", in the pre-Vatican II Catholic Church the 24th of 27 Tenebrae responsories, or the sixth responsory for Holy Saturday, is based on . In the Tenebrae service of the Holy Week this responsory is preceded by a reading taken from Saint Augustine's Commentary on Psalm 64 (63) § 13, interpreting (Vulgate Ps. 63:9 – "Their own tongues shall ruin them") in the light of (the soldiers at Jesus' grave bribed to lie about the whereabouts of the corpse).〔Catholic Church 1875, pp. 400–401〕〔Guéranger 1870, pp. 533–534〕〔Augustine〕 The Versus of the responsory derives from . Settings of the responsory are included in Tomás Luis de Victoria's ''Officium Hebdomadae Sanctae'',〔Victoria 1585〕 Carlo Gesualdo's ''Responsoria et alia ad Officium Hebdomadae Sanctae spectantia'',〔Gesualdo 1611〕 Jan Dismas Zelenka's ''Responsoria pro hebdomada sancta'' (ZWV 55)〔Zelenka〕 and Franz Liszt's ''Responsorien und Antiphonen'' (S.30).〔Liszt〕 A 16th century motet by Marc'Antonio Ingegneri on the Latin text was published around 1967 in an arrangement by Maynard Klein and with "Behold how the righteous perish" as English translation.〔Klein〕 Palestrina set the responsory for two sopranos, alto and choir.〔Palestrina〕 Jacob Handl (Jacobus Gallus) published his setting of ''Ecce quomodo moritur justus'' as No. VIII under the heading "De Passione Domini Nostri Iesv Christi" (On the Passion of Jesus Christ our Lord) in his ''Opus Musicum II''.〔Gallus 1587〕〔Gleason et al. 1988〕 The subtitle of the 1587 publication reads "Qvae Ex Sancto Catholicae Ecclesiae Vsv Ita Svnt Dispositae, vt omni tempore inseruire queant" (Which are herewith offered for use in the Catholic Church, in such fashion that they can be adopted throughout the liturgical year).〔 The Versus in Handl's setting is different from the Versus of the 24th Tenebrae responsory.〔Handl〕 As in 17th century France the Tenebrae services, including the Répons de ténèbres, were held at the vespers of the preceding evening, for example Marc-Antoine Charpentier's ''Ecce quomodo'', H 131 is part of his ''Répons de ténèbres du Vendredi saint'' (Tenebrae responsories of Good Friday).〔BnF〕 In the 18th century Georg Reutter produced a SATB setting of the responsory for the ceremonies of the Holy Week in the Wiener Hofburgkapelle (Vienna court chapel).〔Kainhofer 2009, p. 3〕 In the 20th century Francis Poulenc included "Ecce quomodo moritur justus" in ''Sept répons des ténèbres'' (FP 181, composed 1961). The Episcopal Church provides a single Tenebrae service on Wednesday evening, the day before Maundy Thursday. That service reduces the total number of Tenebrae lessons, each followed by a responsory, to nine. Ecce quomodo moritur is the sixth responsory, and it follows after a reading from Augustine's commentary on Psalm 55 (54).〔Church Publishing 2004, pp. 74–83〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The righteous perishes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
