By Sharon Wilson. By Peter C. Lutkin and Sidney Lanier. Arranged by Sharon Wilson. Children,Easter,Folk,Praise & Worship,Sacred. 9 pages. Sharon Wilson #5038361. Published by Sharon Wilson (A0.565638).The inspiring poem by Sidney Lanier titled "Into the Woods My Master Went" has been set to a variety of tunes. This string duet arrangement (for VIOLIN and CELLO) uses the hymn tune by Peter C. Lutkin. Set in a minor key, the solemn, reflective melody matches the deeply thought-provoking lyrics (see below). Though the lyrics may seem archaic at first, by reading through the words and meditating on the meaning, the beauty of the message becomes clear. This song is especially suited for a prelude or offertory during the season of Lent and Easter.
Verse 1
Into the woods my Master went,
Clean forspent, forspent,
Into the woods my Master came,
Forspent with love and shame.
But the olives they were not blind to Him.
The little grey leaves were kind to Him,
The thorn tree had a mind to Him,
When into the woods He came.
Verse 2
Out of the woods my Master came
And he was well content;
Out of the woods my Master came,
Content with death and shame.
When death and shame would woo Him last,
From under the trees they drew Him last,
'Twas on a tree they slew Him-last
When out of the woods He came.
Two unique verses are included interspersed with flowing and melodious interludes. The VIOLIN carries the melody for both verses. All notes for both the VIOLIN and CELLO are playable in the first position making this arrangement an excellent choice for early-intermediate string players. Being in a minor key, a few D#'s are scattered throughout the VIOLIN part which may require planning alternate fingering for smooth note transitioning.
The purchase price includes a 4-page combined score with both parts on each page plus separate 1-staff scores for the VIOLIN and CELLO (2 pages each).
This arrangement is one of the 10 songs in the collection titled "Easy String Duets: Easter Hymns (A Collection of 10 Easy Violin and Cello Duets)."
