This dramatic choral work sets a text by David Warner
that artfully weaves together multiple witnessing stories
of Christ’s Resurrection into a single narrative. Wilberg
employs an effective array of musical techniques to depict
the protagonists’ experiences: from rapid figurations
that move through the orchestra creating a sense of
momentum and breathless astonishment to pairings of
voicings to convey an act of collective witnessing and
declamatory exclamations of praise.

Lament
String orchestra with opt. organ
Full score 9780193528017
Set of parts 9780193528024
This moving piece for string orchestra is full of pathos and
emotion. Stylistically evocative of Samuel Barber’s Adagio
for Strings and the distinctive musical language of Arvo
Pärt, Lament is based around a two-bar arching ostinato,
artfully developing musical fragments and enriching
the texture to reach a powerful central climax. This is a
welcome addition to the string orchestra repertory.
This piece was recorded on the 2019 Mormon Tabernacle
Choir and Orchestra album Tree of Life under the title ‘And
Wept Bitterly (Lament on an Ostinato for String Orchestra)’.
