Widely admired as one of James MacMillan’s finest achievements, Seven Last Words from the Cross is an absorbing and moving concert experience for performers and audience alike. The cantata follows Christ’s final words at the Crucifixion, meditating on each to form a dramatic and emotional sequence. Both the vocal and instrumental parts draw on characteristic models: Lutheran baroque techniques for the chorus, and the sophisticated British and Polish 20th century traditions of writing for the string orchestra. Along with the MacMillan will be Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings, offering a sumptuous respite from the emotional Lenten drama.
