Description:
Beethoven’s "Moonlight Sonata" is the foundation of this stunning piece depicting the garden of Gethsemane and the Crucifixion of Jesus. Herb Frombach’s contemplative text pairs with Patti Drennan’s rich choral writing and piano accompaniment, all complemented by an expressive optional cello part. The somber nature of the piece is concluded with the promise of God’s redeeming grace as a result of Christ’s sacrifice.
