Description
Lament by Mack Wilberg for String Orchestra, with optional Organ.
This moving piece for String Orchestra is full of pathos and emotion. Stylistically evocative of Samuel Barber's Adagio forStrings 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 awelcome addition to the String Orchestra repertory.
This piece was recorded on the 2019 Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra CD Tree of Life under the title 'And Wept Bitterly (Lament on an Ostinato forStringOrchestra)'.
