Words by Charlotte Lee
Music by Douglas E. Wagner

This exceptionally moving anthem for Lent and Good Friday captures the profound stillness surrounding Christ’s journey to the cross: “And all the world was silent when Christ came forth to die. The sparrows ceased their singing, the sun had left the sky.” Though scored for Two-Part Mixed voices, selected passages feature higher or lower voices independently, adding contrast and a gently soloistic quality. The anthem closes with a quiet, heartfelt prayer for Christ’s mercy. An optional oboe part is included in the score.
