Product Description
'The Seven Last Words Of Christ' is a ground breaking album, encompassing so many aspects of what Ruth Fazal does. It is a fully orchestrated work, for spoken voice, solo violin and symphony orchestra. The nine poems by Gary Wiens, tell the story of the crucifixion through the eyes of John, the beloved apostle and possibly Jesus' closest friend while He was on earth. The music, composed by Ruth, and played by the orchestra, underscores the mood of the poems, portraying the anguish and the agony of the final hours of Jesus' life, culminating in the joyous celebration of the resurrection.
Moments of sweet passion alternate with the awful tension, both in the words and in the music, making this an experience to enter into. As Ruth responds spontaneously on the violin while Gary reads and the orchestra plays, this truly is a most powerful piece.
