Soprano solo, SSAA choir, organ, cello, synthesizer, and handbells - Medium - Digital Download SKU: MQ.56-0021-E Composed by Howard Goodall. 14 pages. Duration 7 minutes, 12 seconds. MorningStar Music Publishers - Digital Sheet Music #56-0021-E. Published by MorningStar Music Publishers - Digital Sheet Music (MQ.56-0021-E). Latin. Lamentations 1:2; John 14:18.Written for the Enchanted Voices CD, this is one of many settings of texts either from the Beatitudes (or springing from them) available from this composer. For soprano solo and women’s chorus (mostly SSA but with a few SSAA passages), organ, cello, synthesizer, and handbells, the music has a light, ethereal feeling. “Beati†can be taken as a sort of “Blessed are they†prefix for the movements which are not direct quotes from the Beatitudes. In this case the only English text is at the beginning and end, sung by the soprano soloist. The rest is a Latin setting of Lamentations 1:2 (“Weeping, she hath wept in the nightâ€) and John 14:18 (“I will not leave you orphansâ€). Duration 7:12Instrumentalists play from the choral score.
