Designed to be accessible for the choir looking to prepare a larger work within the constraints of limited rehearsal time, this work provides conservative ranges and straightforward rhythms that allow time to craft a more artistic performance. Cast in eight movements, this major work draws on texts that examine the many facets of death, the pain of transitions, and the hope and joy of a better place. The work is scored for choir, organ or piano, and optional string orchestra. Each of the movements is available separately; the work as a whole or as individual parts is recommended for concert or liturgical service use. Movements: 1. Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep; 2. I Seek a Faith; 3. The Lord Is My Shepherd; 4. A Light Shines in the Darkness; 5. Death Shall Be No More; 6. I Saw a New Heaven; 7. Love Conquers All; 8. Gaelic Blessing (Deep Peace).

Baritone voice solo, SATB choir, and piano - Intermediate

SKU: MN.56-0053

Composed by Howard Goodall. Lent, Triduum/Three Days, Tenebrae, 21st Century, Heaven, Lament/Grief/Sorrow. Duration 3 minutes, 3 seconds. MorningStar Music Publishers #56-0053. Published by MorningStar Music Publishers (MN.56-0053).

UPC: 688670220562. English.

Arranged for SATB choir, two keyboards, strings, and optional harp, with soprano, tenor (optional) and baritone soloists, this fresh and unorthodox interpretation reflects on the words of the Latin Mass by juxtaposing them with poems in English. A baritone solo on the English text begins the movement (Do not stand at my grave and weep…) and soon the choir enters to accompany the soloist chordally on the Lacrymosa, dies illa text. That’s the extent of the Latin used in this movement, and the baritone over choir setup continues until the end. Somber and reflective, the choir never sings above mezzo piano. Duration 3:03.
