Tapestry of Darkness

"Beyond the tapestry of darkness, the light still shines." Comparing the events of Jesus' final hours to an ever-darkening tapestry of green, brown, white and red, Ruth Elaine Schram has written a truly poignant work for Holy Week. Scored for choir and chamber orchestra, it features expressive melodies that are interspersed with readings from prophecy and the gospels. Appropriate for communion services and for the "Tenebrae" candles if so desired, this is a stirring yet accessible work for any size choir. Songs include: A Call to Reflection; In Communion; Celebrate the Shadow; Not as I Will; The Crimson Thread; Behold Your King; O Sacred Head Now Wounded and Tapestry of Darkness.
