"O vos omnes", setting either by Carlo Gesualdo or Tomas da Victoria

The image from the Lamentations of the Prophet Jeremiah over the destruction of Jerusalem is a moving image of the sorrow so many of us experienced when the World Trade Center was destroyed and so many thousands perished. Both Victoria and Gesualdo set the "O vos omnes" twice; any of these four versions would be appropriate to commemorate our city's great loss.
