Seven Last Words from the Cross, Cantata, for mixed choir (SATB) and string orchestra, vocal/piano score

Widely admired as one of MacMillan?s finest achievements, this promises an absorbing and moving experience in concert, for performers and audience alike. This cantata follows Christ?s final utterances at the Crucifixion, meditating on each to form a dramatic and emotional sequence.

CONTENIDO:

Father, forgive them for they know not what they do
Woman, behold thy Son!... Behold thy Mother!
Verily, I say unto you, today thou shalt be with me in Paradise
Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?
I thirst
It is finished
Father, into Thy hands I commend my Spirit
