A wistful, poignant musical texture pairs with the lyrics, based on the Song of Farewell, to create an effective piece for funeral liturgies. It is scored for SATB choir with keyboard and guitar accompaniment. Additional parts for flute, violin, and cello are available for separate download. Choral parts are only used on the refrain, reinforcing assembly participation, while the verses for cantor or unison choir invite reflection on the meaning of the text.
