Utrenja

Utrenja, alternatively spelled as Utrenia,[1] Utrenya, or Jutrznia, and sometimes also translated as Matins,[2] is a set of two liturgical compositions[3] by Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki. They were composed and premiered in 1970 and 1971.

"Jutrznia" in this context refers to "Matins of the Passion of Jesus" in Eastern Orthodox rites (Polish: "Jutrznia Męki Pańskiej", Russian/Church Slavonic: "Utrenja Strastiej Khristovych").
