The Improperia are a series of antiphons and responses, expressing the remonstrance of Jesus Christ with his people
] Also known as the Reproaches, they are sung In the Catholic liturgy as part of the observance of the Passion, usually on the afternoon of Good Friday
In the Byzantine Rite, they are found in various hymns of Good Friday and Holy Saturday.
Roman Rite[edit]
In their present form in the Roman Rite, the Improperia are a series of three couplets, sung antiphonally by cantors and followed by alternate Greek and Latin responses from the two halves of the choir; and nine other lines sung by the cantors, with the full choir responding after each with the refrain "Popule meus, quid feci tibi? ..." Besides the Kyrie, this is the only usage of the Greek language in the Roman Rite. Thus the Improperia begin with this couplet that includes parts of the Trisagion:
|
Cantor 1: Popule meus, quid feci tibi? Aut in quo contristavi te? Responde mihi. |
My people, what have I done to you? How have I offended you? Answer me!
|
The second couplet is sung antiphonally by two cantors of the second choir, and the third couplet by two cantors of the first choir; after each the two choirs respond as above. The nine following reproaches are sung alternately by the cantors of each choir, beginning with the second, with the full choir responding after each reproach with the line, "Popule meus ...":
|
Cantors 3 & 4: Ego propter te flagellavi Ægyptum cum primogenitis suis: et tu me flagellatum tradidisti. |
For your sake I scourged your captors and their firstborn sons, but you brought your scourges down on me.
|
After the last Improperium and its refrain, the hymns Crux fidelis and Pange lingua are sung.
