Psalm 31. Composed by Tony Alonso S.J. Good Friday. Psalms for the Church. From the recording "I Shall Live". Cross, lament, humility. Octavo. 13 pages. Published by World Library Publications (WL.006317).UPC: 641151063171.
When a piece of ritual music only comes around for a solemn celebration once a year, we look for a piece that is instantly singable by the assembly while still expressing the weight of the occasion. "Into Your Hands," Tony Alonso's setting of the responsorial psalm for Good Friday, meets both criteria. The contour of the refrain allows the assembly to engage with the text and be expressive; cantors will enjoy the simple, lyrical verses. This setting is worth adding to your repertoire for Good Friday for years to come.
