Product Description
The Last Supper, scored
for Symphony Orchestra was conceived in 1984, completed in 1986 and
later revised in 2017. The
work is built around the idea of a visitor who is transported back in
time to the events of the Last Supper. This "visitor" is only an
observer to the event; having no effect upon what he sees. The piece
opens with a dark theme, signifying the "visitor" walking through
the shadowy streets of Jerusalem. As the theme comes to an end an
oboe, high above, signals the "visitors" first view of the Last
Supper. The music takes the listener from the Passover Meal to the
Mount of Olives and finally to the Betrayal of Lord Jesus. Throughout
the score are written biblical passages, meant to inspire the
performer and give context to the music. They may optionally be
spoken as part of the performance.
