Not My Will, But Yours

Composer(s): Larson, Lloyd;

“Not my will, but Yours.” These solemn words have echoed through the ages as Jesus embraced the will of Almighty God on the night before His crucifixion. Beginning shortly after the “hosannas” of Palm Sunday and concluding just before the “alleluias” of Easter Sunday, this brief Holy Week work, from composer Lloyd Larson, retells the last hours of our Lord’s earthly journey to remind us that Christ chose to walk the painful path of a criminal’s execution for our redemption. Intended to be a versatile resource suitable for use in Maundy Thursday and/or Good Friday worship services, it is an excellent selection for choirs of any size thanks in part to its beautifully written and supportive piano accompaniment. An optional chamber orchestration by Ed Hogan for flute, clarinet, horn, violin, and cello is also available. Finally, for those wishing to expand this work into a complete Easter presentation, a list of complementary Palm Sunday and/or Easter Sunday anthems is also included.
