Man of Sorrows

For as much as the story of redemption is told and retold in the church, a new musical setting will cause the listener to ponder again the pathos and cost of Calvary in contrast to the helplessness of mankind.  Heather Sorenson's setting of a traditional hymn is a study in contrasts - the sting of the augmented second interval, the skillful modulations between major and minor keys, the soaring "hallelujahs" and the dark a cappella passages of grief.  Reserve a candlelight moment in your Holy Week service for this stellar composition from a gifted young composer.  Extraordinary.
