August 2012 Some revisions in the voices in the double chorus section as well as the addition of a short alto solo preceding the same section.

My relationship with the mother of Jesus was just something that happened. I did not seek it out, it was a gift given to me when I was most in need. For that, I am ever grateful. This work is meant to express my gratitude for that access.

This setting is scored for choirs, strings, organ, solo trumpet, solo cello, and classical guitar (performance note, with today’s technology it would not be inappropriate to consider using an amplified classical guitar, though if parts are balanced properly, it should not be necessary).

The attached digitally constructed mp3 can be heard as a guide to a performance but there are details in shading that will still best be approached with an open mind on the part of the conductor.

Also note, the organ registration is open to interpretation. I have ’made do’ very quickly with some basic sounds available in GPO4

NOTE: that sales may continue to be viable for the independent publisher with ScoreExchange’s ’multiple print for one price’ sales policy, we have had to increase our asking price. Special pricing including parts available directly from the publisher upon request.
