A Gathering of Shadows

This deeply emotive anthem from the cantata “Lamentations of the Lamb” invites the listener to consider the suffering Christ on His path to the cross. Bestowed with a winding and bittersweet tune, the imagery of the lyric moves slowly with haunting phrases of compelling beauty. Filled with many musical opportunities for freedom and artistry, the anthem is not difficult to learn, giving ample time to explore the depths of its musical and spiritual nuances. A perfect opener for a service of shadows or a candlelight communion. Score and Parts (fl, ob, vc) available as a digital download.
