Man of Sorrows

Uses: Lent, Holy Week, Tenebrae, Communion

Scripture: Isaiah 53:3

There is a sanguine quality to this sacred art song that is profoundly impacting to experience. The harmonic syntax is unconventionaland filled with theatrical word painting offering choirs an opportunity to concentrate on interpretation and tone quality. A soulful violin part adds depth and color. For candlelight communion or Tenebrae services, thiscombination of powerful music with a classic Holy Week text is a very thoughtful choice.
