UPC: 785147777403. English. Text by Mary Louise Bringle.

Beginning with a single bass line in the keyboard, expanding to 2 parts, then adding in the men’s voices and eventually the women, it is as if everyone in the room is waiting on the brink, expecting something. The mixed two-part voicing is used for the first 3 verses, finally expanding to SATB on the final verse, providing a comforting expansiveness.

English, Latin. Text Source: Matthew 2:16-18, Jeremiah 31:15. Text by Sylvia Dunstan. Scripture: Matthew 2:16–18, Jeremiah 31:15.

Sylvia Dunstan’s pointed, unsettling words resound: “God, hear the blood crying out from the ground.” They find balance in O’Brien’s sensitive music for two solo voices and choir. The “miserere nobis” underpinning throughout provides a beautiful, comforting mantra. A good piece to consider not only for Christmastide but also for the unborn or the funeral of a child.
