Score-Psalm 22 is famous as the source of Christ's most touching words from the cross: 'Lord Lord why have You Forsaken Me ' and it is one of three psalms that Ernest Bloch set for solo voice and orchestra during the first great blooming of his mature 'Jewish Style' in 1900-1906. It is one of the most intense of all settings of religious texts a work of blazing passion moving from despair to exultant triumph in just eight minutes. This is the Score of this work intended for study purposes.
