Review: A new edition of this early Martin hymn resetting! In this version, the key has been lowered and the rhythms adjusted to reflect a more traditional approach to the text, refining the anthem for reverence and worship. The contours of the melody convey longing and repentance while the B section weaves gentle counterpoint into a sonic tapestry of beauty. An approachable yet effective option for Holy Week or services of contemplation. Superb! Score and Parts (fl, ob, cl, bn, perc 1-2, pno, vn 1-2, va, vc, db) available as a digital download.

Review: From the highly successful cantata, Song of the Shadows, here is the incredibly beautiful and lush Agnus Dei. The Latin text, Behold the Lamb of God, is always moving, no matter what the arrangement. In this setting, a duet for soprano and tenor soars above a rich, chant-like chorus and flowing accompaniment. A poignant and beautiful offering for Holy Week!

Review: Here is a breathtaking Holy Week offering that will echo through hearts during that important time of corporate reflection.
