This new anthology of Part's choral works replaces the earlier one published in 1999. Songlist: Prelude, The First Words, There is a green hill far away, The Second Words, The Third Words, When my love to God grows weak, The Fourth Words, Drop, drop, slow tears, Were You There?, The Fifth Words, Ave verum corpus, The Sixth Words, God so loved the world, The Seventh Words, In the departure of the Lord, When I survey the Wondrous Cross Voicing: SATB | 40540b | Songbook | $13.75 String parts and full scores are available to hire from the Music Hire Library. The result is a flexible and striking work that re-presents this timeless story for a modern audience. If performed liturgically, the work may be interspersed with prayers and readings. The short solos are perfectly suited to members of the choir, and strings (quartet, quintet, or ensemble) may optionally join the organ or piano in the accompaniment. Bullard skilfully weaves the traditional Seven Last Words of Christ with linking biblical passages, 3 well-known hymns, and settings of 4 well-known sacred texts, including 'Drop, drop, slow tears' and 'Ave verum corpus' (both of which may be sung as independent motets) to create a moving and at times dramatic work. Wondrous Cross is a reflective work suitable for church or concert choirs at Passiontide. ![]()
