Uses: Good Friday, Holy Week
Scripture: Matthew 12:48; John 19:26
A very singular perspective is presented in the text of this emotional anthem for Good Friday. The tears of Mary are used to not only express a mother's pain and loss, but the deep sorrow of us all as we consider the cost of grace. The main theme in minor moves with the restraint of a heavy burden as the harmonies provide a deep sense of grief and mourning. The cello adds color and motion to the pulsing of the piano, delivering an almost dirge-like impact to the spirit of the work. Passionate poetry meets thoughtful music!
