This setting of the Seven Last Words incorporates the theme of Dies Irae throughout the work. Each movement has a different style. A good choir and soloists are needed. The orchestra is relatively small: single winds, FH, Timpany and strings.

The AHS Bel Canto Chorale Men were invited to perform a concert as a featured chorus for the TMEA Convention in 2008.  They commissioned me to write this piece to not only showcase their talent but also to pay respects to a local family who lost their son in the military.
