VIA CRUCIS - 14 tunes for the path to the Cross

**musicalis** · Aug-14-2009, 00:26

In the catholic Religion, the "Path to the Cross" counts 14 stations. I have decided to write a short music (60 to 120 s) for each station.
1st station has a 1/2 time signature .;. 5th is 5/4 ... 9th is 9/8 ...last one is 14/8.
You can use it for something else if you want.
Today, I present the first station.
Next stations will be posted in this topic, as soon as completed, so, please come back to this thread from time to time.
Please, enjoy, play or comment.

Thank-you, Musicalis, that's the link I was waiting for. Really wonderful music that says a whole lot in a short time. I could definitely make use of such stuff during Communion.

Would make a good communion/interlude. The whole group of 14 might make a good concert selection too. Thanks again for your wonderful insite into music. Hope your health is holding its own.. new meds eveyday are on the way it seems. God Bless You.. Bill

I'm really looking forward to hearing more of these. The progression of time signatures is a fascinating idea. Thanks, J-P.

Via Crucis or "14 Brêves pour le Chemin de Croix" is a suite of short musics (less than 2 mn).
This 3rd piece has a 3/2 time signature.

These are just absolutely wonderful, J-Paul. The registrations, the notes and time signatures ... all just perfect in every way.
