A Chamber Cantata for Holy Week or Easter. Par MARTIN JOSEPH M..

A smaller, yet effective orchestration provides instrumental or track options, while voice dominant tracks make learning convenient and approachable.

A hymn text that reflects the redemptive heart of God for His people is lovingly set to new music. Using words that have been celebrated even outside the sanctuary, this melodic variation is a compelling new way to present the promise found in the treasured lyric. Set in minor, the melody expresses a depth of emotion that makes the anthem ideal for communion or moments of reflection and repentance. The surprising turn of the theme to major mode paints a powerful sonic picture of salvation and assurance.
