SATB choir, soprano voice solo (a cappella) - Late Intermediate SKU: MN.CH-1061
Composed by Gregg Smith and William Billings. Doo-Wop Madrigal Style Series. 21st Century. Octavo. Duration 4 minutes, 4 seconds. Laurendale Associates #CH-1061. Published by Laurendale Associates (MN.CH-1061). Adapted from When Jesus Wept by William Billings. Billings' haunting melody is first presented as a solo, then a pizz. bass-like sound, with the melody in the women's parts in parallel fourths. This is followed by the women in thirds and a coloratura obligato. Finally the pizz. returns with the women singing the four-part round as Billings intended.
Duration 4:04.
