Cantate pour choeur d'après la pièce de Lessing

Lessing tells the tale of three men who become close through unexpected events, in Jerusalem during the crusades. They appear to have nothing in common, neither religion nor standing, only the wish to follow their faith as nobly as they can. It's this authenticity that brings them together until something becomes apparent - they are all of the same family. On this highly topical theme, Eric Breton has composed a powerful, captivating work, in the line of the great oratorios. The action is situated in Jerusalem, in 1190.
