And the Mother did weep

Organists who possess Karl Jenkins's Essential Organ Album will welcome this transcription from his Stabat Mater. And the Mother did weep expresses the grief of Mary, Jesus Christ’s mother, during his crucifixion. In the original choral piece the single line of text of the title is sung in a variety of languages to represent the universality of parental sorrow. As an instrumental solo the work can fit various occasions in church and concert hall when deep sentiment can be articulated only through music of irresistible beauty.
