Story Behind The Song
I composed, scored, and sequenced this piece for my final Orchestration I project (Berklee Online, instructor Ben Newhouse) in August of 2008. I was thrilled when it won me a scholarship for another course. I chose Orchestration II, also from Ben.
Song Description
This music expresses the emotions and forces at work the night Jesus was crucified: his solitary prayer vigil, his struggle to accept death on the cross, his feelings of abandonment by his Father, God, the evil forces lurking in the darkness, the sins of all mankind hanging on his shoulders, his cry to his Father to take the cup of suffering and death from him, and his eventual acceptance of his sacrificial death to make salvation for mankind possible.
