Opening
with this antiphon, sung beautifully by a cappella choir, this new
setting of the Passion is powerful, tender and haunting, evoking all
the pathos and drama of Jesus' suffering and death. The inspiration for
it, the composer explains, came from his desire to give added meaning
and power to the Passion reading on Good Friday, not only to contrast
with the passion reading on Palm/Passion Sunday, but also because it
precedes the Veneration of the Cross.
Reverent and emotionally immediate, the music is a very appropriate
setting for St. John's telling of the story. It's simple without being
spare, dramatic without being melodramatic. Arranged with parts for
Jesus, organ, SATB choir, narrator, Pilate, Peter, a maid, a slave and
a temple guard, Walker's Passion also involves the assembly, which
sings easily memorized refrains that reflect on key moments in the
Passion.
This innovative setting gives a new voice to a familiar text, placing
the narrator's spoken part over keyboard accompaniment and giving
dramatic crowd part s to the choir. Jesus sings in contrast to Pilate,
who speaks. Based on three short melodies, the part of Jesus (included
in the full score) can be learned quickly by a priest or deacon. All
parts, in fact, are relatively easy to learn and perform, accessible to
the resources of a good parish choir.
The beautifully recorded CD reveals the dramatic potential of this
music. Divided into 17 tracks, one for each of the main sequences of
the Passion, it makes an excellent preparation and rehearsal tool, in
addition to being inspirational listening for Lent and any time we
meditate on the sorrowful mysteries of the Passion. |
