Liebergen, Patrick M.: Song of Sorrow
Based on Symphony No.7, Second Movement by Ludwig van Beethoven
vocal/choral score
Scripture: Matthew 27:59, John 19:38-42, Mark 15:46, Luke 27:55-56
Though only scored for 2-part choir, this Holy Week lament has a power and conviction essential for theshadows of Holy Week. Utilizing the immortal theme of Beethoven's seventh symphony, the dramatic dirge-like pattern beats a steady reminder of the price of grace.
