Taken from the major work Love Unknown, Burkhardt's treatment of the spiritual is haunting and evocative. The handbells, organ, and optional timpani sound repeated notes to provide a dirge underpinning, and a caller and chorus texture is particularly effective. A remarkable setting to highlight the crucifixion and Christ's sacrifice. Key of g minor. 56 measures.
