SATB choir, piano accompaniment - Beginning

SKU: GI.G-5791

Composed by Johann Cruger. Arranged by Hal H. Hopson. Palm Sunday, Good Friday. Choral. Tune Name: Herzliebster Jesus. Sacred. Octavo. 8 pages. GIA Publications #5791. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-5791).

UPC: 785147579106. English, Latin. Translation: Robert Seymour Bridges. Text by Johann Heermann.

This arrangement of herzliebster jesu calls for disciplined dynamics from the singers and poignant persistence from the pianist. Although the choir’s part seems exposed, the accompaniment provides a pedal point that should assist in maintaining the tonal center. 

Haunting bass in accompaniment suggests “the stripes and the cruelty laid on Jesus.”.
