Lamentations of the Lamb

The writing team of John Purifoy and Pamela Stewart have crafted a brief work for Maundy Thursday or Good Friday, suitable for use as a Tenebrae service. Told from the historical perspective of the Gospels, as well as from the Old Testament laments that foreshadow them, Lamentations of the Lamb takes us on a journey through the final days in the life of Christ. Each anthem itself is a plaintive lament taken from these combined narratives. With a final stirring lamentation offered by creation, here is a powerful ending to Holy Week in preparation for Easter. Songs include: A Gathering of Shadows, The Table of Forgiveness, Forsaken in the Garden, In the Twilight of My Sorrow, Come, Ye Disconsolate, Lamentation for the Lamb. Score and parts (fl, ob, vc) available on CD-ROM.
