Seven Last Words
The choirs of Holy Family sing beautiful choral music for each Sunday Mass. Join them in a concert recounting Christ's passion and resurrection!
Haunting and evocative, the work displays a superb sense of form and architecture, poignantly distilling the most intimate and universal moments of human emotion. From the tender mercy of Father, Forgive Them (1) to the hopefulness of the promise of Today You Will Be With Me (2), the work unfolds to reveal a complex tapestry of states of emotion. It builds from the com- passion of Behold, Your Son (3) and the yearning of I Thirst (4), to the despair of My God Why Have You Abandoned Me? (5), the acceptance of Into Your Hands I Surrender (6), and nally the resignation of It is Finished (7). This setting uses various in- terpolations of biblical and liturgical texts (e.g. Kyrie, Truly This Man Was the Son of God,All of the Gates Were Opened Wide) as commentary on, and in dialogue with, the words of Christ, fur- ther expanding the story and the reaction of those witness to the Passion.
A magnificent example of a unique compositional voice that acknowledges and includes tradition, Seven Last Words transcends the boundaries of genre and conveys a powerful and emotive drama. It will receive its Carnegie Hall debut in May of 2017 under the baton of the composer.
