This dramatic choral anthem displays an artful approach to the setting of an early American hymn text. Word painting and a colorful harmonic vocabulary bring theatre into the performance of this heart-felt text that considers the loving sacrifice of Christ on the cross. Driven by the meaning of the words, the piece is a thoughtful choice for Holy Week or communion observances. Duration: ca. 4:33.
