Golgotha (Oratorio)

Album by Frank Martin

Golgotha is an oratorio by Swiss composer Frank Martin, completed in 1946. Scored for soloists, chorus and orchestra, the work melds modal and chromatic harmonies with contrapuntal textures and dramatic declamatory writing, representing a mid-career turn in Martin's output toward large-scale, intensely expressive sacred vocal-orchestral works.
