The Passion Music Lyric Video

Creative Director & Editor

In their latest album, The Passion, The University of Notre Dame Folk Choir, an all-student cast delivers a two act musical dramatic ritualization of the events of Holy Thursday and Good Friday through song and spoken word.

These lyric videos amplify the collaborative process between students in the Folk Choir and professional artists. The Passion combines Scripture with original poetry, which is all set to newly composed music. As the disciples gather in the Upper Room to retell their story of Christ’s passion, they are joined by Memory, who guides them towards answering one character’s question, “Can grace abound in grounds turned fallow?” The answer, rendered beautifully by the students of the Folk Choir, is a resounding “Yes.”

Since its founding forty years ago, the Notre Dame Folk Choir has been committed to creating new music for liturgical worship and finding common ground between sacred and secular music.

The 50-person ensemble serves the Notre Dame community, including the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, as one of its principal liturgical choirs and has toured across four continents and released eight studio albums. Led by Grammy® Award winner Dr. J.J. Wright and joined by guitarist Franky Rousseau and bassist Ike Sturm, The Passion was produced by Joe Henry and recorded at the Jerusalem Music Center after a weeklong pilgrimage to the Holy Land in May 2022.

Kosmologia is an ongoing, Chicago-based creative project and arts collective led by Carmen-Helena Téllez, focusing on the production of inter-artistic events that involve music, other arts, and technology that meet the spirit and concerns of our time.

Commissioned by The Princeton Festival, the video Dreaming/Undreaming is inspired by two short stories – “The Library of Babel” and “The Aleph” – by the masterful Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges. This new work creates a unique visual and musical experience, an art-music video in which the audience travels between worlds of persuasive dreams and deceptive realities in our universe. A piano recital moves seamlessly through original compositions created specifically for this project in conversation with the music of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 – 1750), the master of polyphony.

Artist MALINDA explores her family’s relationship to war through the stories of her grandmother, her mother, and her own life in a series of vignettes- the moments that have been seared into her family memory. The moments where we take on the weight of the world, and yet we still feel miles and miles away from it all.
