Composed by Chris Kovarik. Classical,Lent,Praise & Worship,Sacred. Individual part. 7 pages. Chris Kovarik #958719. Published by Chris Kovarik (A0.1374145).Chorale Prelude on Rockingham (composed 2018, duration ca. 4’ 10”). The text most commonly associated with this tune (When I survey the wondrous cross) is reflective, and inward looking. In it the writer marvels at the depth of God’s love for us, and is humbled by the vastness of our challenge in reciprocating it. We can only stand in awe at the impossibility of our task. Likewise the task of the arranger who tries to capture, in music, a fraction of these feelings. The piece begins very simply and grows more complex, with each statement of the hymn tune more elaborate than the last. Flowing triplets keep the motion going, and the rich harmonic palette is accentuated by several unexpected modulations. The mood is serene, though not always quiet, and often with uncertainty bubbling right under the surface.
