The Garden of Sorrow

In this beautifully written piece for Maundy Thursday, the powerful text combines with dramatic and colorful choral writing to convey the anguish, weight and resolve Jesus experienced in Gethsemane. Amid abandonment and loneliness, Jesus found the strength through prayer to be faithful and say, "Father, Thy will be done." An optional cello part (included) effectively contributes to the mood of this evocative work.
