PietaJoseph Martin. The artists among us are
those that can look at the commonplace and identify
the sublime. Joseph Martin's moving anthem
draws its inspiration from Michelangelo's famous
sculpture that shows Mary holding the slain Jesus
in her arms. From this image, the composer recalls
three vignettes from Mary's life and renders musical
images of her holding the infant Christ, the living
Christ and the crucified Christ. The musical result,
scored for mixed voices, piano, violin obbligato and
soprano soloist is every bit as striking as its inspired
master. For Christmas candlelight observances,
Marian festivals, or during Holy Week, this gripping
work is conceived for those choirs whose mission
is to communicate to their congregation with
meaning and artistry. Astonishing!
