Review:
William Billings' penetrating tune is presented with expansive open harmony and a modicum of notes to preserve the starkness of the text it accompanies. "When Jesus wept, the falling tear in mercy flowed beyond all bound; when Jesus groaned, a trembling fear seized all the guilty world around." This somber, introspective 62-measure work of intense beauty is arranged in d minor and e minor.
