Speed: The movement in this song must come from the accompaniment. The voices float slowly(whether in sorrow or majesty) over the top of the constant 12/8 pulse. Please note that the metronomemarking (q.= 60) is expressed in terms of the dotted quarter as the basic unit. Those not familiar withaccompaniment rhythm.

Liturgical Use: The song may be used at times of special celebration of the passage of Jesus throughdeath to glory: Psalm Sunday, Good Friday, Easter Vigil, Christ the King, during retreats, and musicalprayer services. Since it is a long song, it is recommended for moments like communion, or beforeMass, or as a choir piece for reflection after the homily.

Feel and Mood: The core of the song is the reverence and awe for Jesus’ passage through sufferingand death to glory. Verse 1 sets up almost a story-telling mode; its refrain is simply a basic statement ofVerse 3, with its strained chords at the beginning, is a picture of Jesus in His final agony, still forgivingthose who would end His life; its refrain is quiet and sorrowful for the whole first half as if stunned bythe words of the verse; then, at the name of Jesus, energy come back and continually grows into theglory; its refrain is appropriately the climax.

High Points: Of the four refrains, the second and fourth are the strongest; the third is mostly quiet, butcrecendos near the end. The second verse is full of contrast, alternating strong and quiet moments. Thethird verse is high in intensity, but not loud. The strength of the fourth verse must grow out of the endof the third refrain. The final refrain should peak at the second “Jesus” and then taper off to the end.

The choir should watch the dynamics especially during the third refrain; they are different from theothers.

Performers: The song requires soloists capable of much contrast. The second verse would be a goodverse for an alto. If at all possible, the last verse should be choral.

Degree of Difficulty: medium. The energy needed to perform this piece needs to go into the phrasing,timing, and expression, both by the singers and the accompanist. The actual notes, harmony, andchords are not difficult.

Further Information: There is a 2-part C-instrument (oboe, violin, flute) accompaniment in thisvolume. Note that if the flute is used, the part should be playing up one octave as much as possible sothat it will be heard. The guitar part may be played simultaneously with the piano part. In lieu of apiano, it is recommended that there be a bass player to help provide a sense of the depth and breadth ofthe piece.
