FOREWORD
The format of a Tenebrae service certainly isn't new, but the way in which Mary McDonald
has approached the form is fresh and moving. This is the first work of this type written by
Mary, and she brings her signature style of heartfelt writing, well-crafted choral arranging and
creative, yet playable accompaniments to the dramatic and historic events of Holy Week. Add
to this the optional PowerPoint image projections and optional exquisite and practical
chamber orchestration from Phillip Keveren and the sum total is a highly creative work that
will move and inspire your choir, congregation and all who hear it.
Make note of the Presentation Suggestions (page 4) for the work, which offer complete
suggestions and guidance on how to best present the work to heighten its impact.
May your choir and congregation be inspired and touched anew with the transformative truths
contained in It Is Finished.
