I See a Rose in the Garden

Uses: Holy Week, Maundy Thursday

Scripture: Matthew 26:36-44

The shadows of Gethsemane fall upon the Savior in this moving tableau taken from the celebrated cantata, The Rose of Calvary. Thispivotal moment in the life of Christ is presented with impassioned poetic music and infused with an emotive harmonic language that frames the words: “Father, let Thy will be done.” The final resolution as Jesus risesto do His Father's will is truly memorable.
