This tender song of farewell incorporates Chris’ original text with a modern harmonization of In paradisum (Mode VII) in Latin. A simple, arpeggiated accompaniment reflects the compassionate comfort of this graceful song for funerals. Optional string quartet and oboe parts are available separately and add to the expressiveness of this piece. For Cantor or Solo, SATB choir, and assembly this touching original work by Chris de Silva quotes the Latin chant In paradisum and offers solace and hope for those who have suffered loss. For cantor or soloist.
