| Tenebrae |
Orchestra |
What does sin sound like? This was the driving impulse - to depict in sound why Jesus had to die. Composed for the opening of a Tenebrae Service on Good Friday. Intense whispers build to a powerful dissonance through the tune: O the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus (Ebenezer). A second climax melts into an elongate version of O Sacred Head Now Wounded as motives wash down with growing intensity underneath There is a Redeemer. Peaking at the final climax, a codetta quietly closes the work in a somber, silent tone. |
