She Stood in Silent Love

A very singular perspective is presented in the text of this emotional anthem for Good Friday. The tears of Mary are used to express not only a mother's pain and loss, but the deep sorrow of us all as we consider the cost of grace. The main theme in a minor key moves with restraint as the harmonies provide a sense of grief and mourning. The cello adds color and motion to the pulsing of the piano. Passionate poetry meets thoughtful music!
