For Solo (Caller), SATB Voices, Handbells (2 Oct), and Organ with opt. timpani
By Michael Burkhardt
Taken from the major work Love Unknown, Burkhardt's treatment of the spiritual is haunting and evocative. The handbells, organ, and optional timpani sound repeated notes to provide a dirge underpinning, and a caller and chorus texture is particularly effective. A remarkable setting to highlight the crucifixion and Christ's sacrifice.
Reproducible parts for Handbells and Timpani included.
