for 5 soloists (SSATB), speaker, 3 mixed choirs and orchestra. Par PENDERECKI KRZYSZTOF. Deeply moved by his first visit to the city of Jerusalem with its seven gates, Krzysztof Penderecki composed this major vocal work to celebrate the city's 3,000th anniversary in 1995. Two years later, it was premiered as Symphony No. 7 in which the magic number seven has a special meaning: From the seven movements representing the seven gates to the seven powerful fortissimo chords concluding the oratorio, the biblical number runs through the entire work./ Répertoire / 5 Solistes [SSATB], Narrateur, 3 Chœurs Mixtes et
