At Golgotha.
Instrumentation: SATB, PIANO.
Chapel Anthem Series.
Dana Mengel.
GOOD FRIDAY ANTHEM FOR SATB VOICES AND PIANO THE KEYBOARD SETS THE FEELING OF GOOD FRIDAY AS THE LEFT HAND PLAYS AN OSTINATO THAT MIMICS THE SOUND OF A POUNDING HAMMER. THE WOMEN BEGIN THE ANTHEM AS THEY ASK, "WHAT HAS HE DONE TO DESERVE SUCH A FATE?". THE WOMEN AND MEN SHARE THE HAUNTING STANZAS AS THEY MOVE TO A "KYRIE ELEISON" IN WARM FOUR-PART HARMONY. THE SIMPLE BEAUTY OF THIS ANTHEM ALLOWS FOR TEXT INTERPRETATION BY THE SINGERS AS THEY SHARE THE STORY OF CHRIST ON THE CROSS, INTERSPERSED WITH THE PLAINTINVE REFRAIN, "KYRIE ELEISON". THE KEYBOARD ACCOMPANIMENT IS MODERATELY EASY. CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN THAT THE LEFT HAND OSTINATO CONTINUES GENTLY THROUGHOUT THE ANTHEM. CONSIDER TEACHING THE "KYRIE ELEISON" SECTION TO THE CHOIR FIRST (MEASURES 11-18) WORKING ON PURE VOWEL SOUNDS. SING THIS SECTIONI ON "LAH", "LIH", AND "LOO" AS A CHORAL WARM-UP.

Format: Piano Reduction/Vocal Score.
