Behold Your Son (Tenebrae Through the Eyes of Mary) (SAB Version) by Stephen DeCesare 3-Part - Digital Sheet Music

SKU: A0.1826671

Behold Your Son is a complete, fully structured Tenebrae service presented through the voice of Mary, the mother of Jesus.

Across fifteen extinguished candles, the Passion unfolds from betrayal to crucifixion through dramatic narration and fifteen original musical movements. As each light fades, the sanctuary darkens, drawing the congregation into a deeply reflective Holy Week experience grounded in Scripture, sorrow, and steadfast love.

Written for parish Tenebrae services, Holy Week evenings, or sacred concert settings, this work provides everything needed for presentation: narration, musical movements, candle cues, and a clear dramatic arc. With over an hour of original music, it offers substance and depth while remaining pastorally accessible.

Mary’s voice is intimate and direct—witnessing betrayal, denial, violence, and death not from a distance, but as a mother standing beneath the Cross.

Musical Movements Included:

• The Kiss of Betrayal
• He Loved Them Still
• When the Rooster Cried
• Not of This World
• And With His Stripes We Are Healed
• The Crown Was Mine
• The Wood of the Cross
• Good Friday
• Cradle to the Cross
• Only Passing Through
• The Road to the Cross
• I Met the Good Shepherd
• My Lord Walked Down the Via Dolorosa
• What Has He Done?
• Oh, What Deep Woes (Pieta, Mater Dolorosa)

Each song is also available individually, with accompaniment and performance tracks, allowing flexible programming beyond the full Tenebrae presentation.

A substantial Holy Week offering for directors seeking a reverent, immersive, and musically complete Passion meditation.
