D When I Survey the Wondrous Cross—arr.
Dan Forrest. Using the tune O Waly Waly, solo
violin, piano and the sound of a distant tenor
drum, Dan Forrest has recast this most familiar
hymn into a work of expressive magnificence.
Recalling the sounds of a funeral procession
from an earlier century, it brings together the
elements of mourning and a kind of walk to
the tomb, but pauses to reflect on the "love so
amazing, so divine" that brought the Savior to
His crucifixion.

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross—arr.

When You Prayed Beneath the Trees—
Christopher Idle & Lloyd Larson. Especially
meaningful during the days of Holy Week, the
text relates to our Lord praying in the garden
of Gethsemane, and weaves around the tree
theme found in many scriptures about the
cross. The original accompaniment is for
piano, plus optional flute, oboe, French horn
and cello and perfectly captures the somber
mood. This top-seller is now available in both
unison and SSA.

L Who Is This?—Victor C. Johnson. "Who is
this, despised, rejected, mocked, insulted,
beaten, bound?" This eloquent anthem is
a dramatic yet simple reflection on Christ's
crucifixion, featuring haunting yet lovely choral
writing and an elegant piano accompaniment.
Focusing on the immense sacrifice at Calvary,
it is an excellent choice for a contemplative
moment in a Holy Week or Good Friday
service. Very moving!

Friday ballad exalts the "wondrous love the
Savior showed for me!" Opening with a hint
of the hymn What Wondrous Love Is This, this
Lenten anthem is sensitively crafted, easily
learned, and very effective.

L Have Mercy on Me—Clayton White. This gentle and reverent gospel
ballad reflects on Psalm 51, "Create in me a clean heart." The choir
sings the psalm verses with a solo voice responding, "Have mercy,
O God." The choral writing is lush with some cluster chords, yet
accessible. A solo voice is integral to the anthem.
