"The Seven Last Words of Christ" by Théodore Dubois, presented by Chancel Choir. Soloists: Karen Kesler, Josh Sutherland, David Sutherland, Liz Chandler, and Sue Trigger; Mark Lowry, timpani; Linda Dover, organ; Rebecca J. Prater, director.

Théodore Dubois wrote The Seven Last Words of Christ in 1867. The work was written in eight movements beginning with an introduction for soprano, “All Ye Who Pass By.” The introduction is followed by a movement for each phrase Christ spoke during the crucifixion. The work is concluded with a chorale, “Christ, We Do All Adore Thee,” providing the listener with hope of the resurrection after hearing the Passion story.
