Description:
Ruthie Schram’s considerable gifts as a lyricist and melodic writer abound in this poignant reflection upon Christ as He prayed alone in the Garden of Gethsemane. The lyrics recall the gospel story. The music flows in 3/4, with sensitive text declamation and colorful harmonies. An optional oboe (or C Instrument) obbligato adds a mournful touch.
