Song for Veneration of the Cross

Reminiscent of Taizé songs, this short, memorable refrain_x0014_ for cantor, two-part chorus and descant, keyboard, and guitar_x0014_ alternates with the five provided instrumental interludes to accommodate Veneration services of varying lengths. Keyboardists are further encouraged to improvise their own interludes using the guitar chords. Because of its reflective, slow pace and tuneful melody, this song is especially suited for children's liturgies.
