For SATB Voices and Organ with Opt. C Instrument
By Stephen P. Satrke & Walker Williams
This arrangement of Stephen P. Starke's The Tree of Life is paired with the tune THE WEXFORD CAROL. The text depicts the fall of Adam and redemption through Christ, framing both in imagery drawn from the Garden of Eden. This arrangement matches the changing tone of the text through the four stanzas, from innocence through shame to redemption and triumph, finally ending with quiet assurance. An optional C instrument part is included. Also available arranged for two-part choir.
