Additional information

An exciting new work for SATB choir with soprano solo and electric guitar.

Reviews
"an outstanding response to the text"

Alan Bullard/ Choir & Organ/ 2010

"his most impressive, well-structured, 'agonized-over' work to date . . . well worth many more performances from ambitious, enterprising choirs."

Jill Barlow/ Tempo/ 2009
