Soprano voice solo, SSAA choir, organ, cello, synthesizer, and handbells - Intermediate

SKU: MN.56-0021

Composed by Howard Goodall. 21st Century, Lament/Grief/Sorrow. Duration 7 minutes, 12 seconds. MorningStar Music Publishers #56-0021. Published by MorningStar Music Publishers (MN.56-0021).

UPC: 688670220265. Latin. Lamentations 1:2; John 14:18.

Written for the Enchanted Voices CD, this is one of many settings of texts either from the Beatitudes (or springing from them) available from this composer. For soprano solo and women’s chorus (mostly SSA but with a few SSAA passages), organ, cello, synthesizer, and handbells, the music has a light, ethereal feeling. “Beati” can be taken as a sort of “Blessed are they” prefix for the movements which are not direct quotes from the Beatitudes. In this case the only English text is at the beginning and end, sung by the soprano soloist. The rest is a Latin setting of Lamentations 1:2 (“Weeping, she hath wept in the night”) and John 14:18 (“I will not leave you orphans”). Duration 7:12

 
Instrumentalists play from the choral score.
