You again and again." The repeated responses

the world True Light" give solid impact to every

L Were You There—Kyle Pederson. This
version of the great spiritual is rich in text
painting and digs deeply into the emotions
portrayed in the words. The arrangement begins
effectively with the sound of the hammer in
the low piano part. Moving from E-flat to E-flat
minor for the second verse adds a brooding
timbre. Subsequent verses build in intensity
with an independent piano part, then the
arrangement ends subdued with echoes of the
hammer. A haunting choice for Good Friday and
the Lenten season.

of this version is a sensitive choice for Tenebrae
or other Holy Week traditions. Simply beautiful!
