Abide with Me— Soprano & Orchestra

$250.00

Instrumentation: Soprano, full orchestra

Duration: 8 minutes   |   Advanced

Recorded: Lori Ann Fuller (soprano), Orchestra Unleashed, a soul alone before God (2012)

What's included: Full conductor's score + soprano part + all orchestral parts (PDF)

Description: The text is Henry Lyte's deathbed hymn: the soul's cry to God in its most vulnerable moment. The setting does not make peace with mortality easily; the opening has the quality of genuine terror. What follows is a long intercession, the voice finding its footing, and a resolution that arrives at the end only because it has been preceded by everything that it was.
