"Frank Martin's ""golgotha"""

This thesis examines the Golgotha oratorio, composed by Frank Martin at the height of his creative power. It succeeds Le Vin herbe, in which Martin reached a compositional style that satisfied him, and In Terra Pax, his first oratorio on Biblical texts. Writing immediately following World War II, the composer reflects a reaction to the catastrophe of the war years similar to that of other composers who created a sacred work of major dimensions. Although little known in America, Golgotha deserves a place in the history of the Passion.
