This is a welcome addition to the String Orchestra repertory.This piece was recorded on the 2019 Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra CD Tree of Life under the title 'And Wept Bitterly (Lament on an Ostinato for StringOrchestra)'.This complete set of parts includes: 4 x vln I 4 x vln II 3 x vla 2 x vc and 1 x db.
