SKU: GI.G-8282

UPC: 785147828204. English. Text source: Based on Song of Songs. Text by Michael Mahler. Scripture: Song of SongsÑmixed references.

An intriguing contemporary sound for this romantic text from Scripture—you may find yourself swaying and whistling along. The soloist should be comfortable with the syncopation in the verses, while the addition of the background vocals (three voices in close harmony plus a descant) really adds to the aura of the piece, especially in the assembly’s refrain.

SKU: MN.CH-1126

From Stabat Mater, which was well received by both the public and the critics when it was published in 1883. Its simple and brooding melodic lines complement the pity, sympathy, and sorrow of the text. Optional MIDI file available separately (on MIDI disk LMF-1001)

Duration 5:43.
