Krzysztof Penderecki - Utrenja II: Auferstehung Christi - 1971

Utrenja II, sometimes also translated as Matins II, is a liturgical composition by Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki. It was composed and premiered in 1971, after having been commissioned by the West German Radio. The title in this context refers to "Matins of the Passion of Jesus" in Eastern Orthodox rites (Church Slavonic: "Utrenja Strastiej Khristovych"). Utrenja II is based on the morning service of Easter Sunday, which commemorates and renders homage to the resurrection of Christ. The text has been taken from Old Church Slavonic writings. Utrenja II is scored for choir, boys' choir, 5 solo voices and symphony orchestra. Ewangelia and Kanon Paschy, Pieśń 8 from Utrenja II, along with other pieces by Penderecki, were used in the 1980 Stanley Kubrick film The Shining.
