“Lord, Is It I?” is one of the most dramatic moments in the best-selling Holy Week cantata, Song of the Shadows. It mournfully recounts the events of the Last Supper and the fear each disciple harbors as they ask, “Lord, is it I?” We are reminded that Jesus was betrayed not only for thirty pieces of silver, but also by Peter's denial. And we are compelled to question our own hearts – Lord, is it I? Achingly beautiful, and filled with emotion that will make a lasting impression.

A hymn subtitled “Tenebrae” addresses Christ, who is about to face beatings, thorns, and nails. It asks Jesus to teach us how to pray, “Not my will but yours be done.” The music is characterized by moving eighths in the piano, minor tonality, and varied use of the SATB forces.
