The name de Profundis is Latin for out of the deep. It plays on the distinctiveness of the male voice, while at the same time bespeaking the conviction that music has the capacity to reveal the profound, that which is concealed within our own depths. ...  moreThe name de Profundis is Latin for out of the deep.
