The introduction sets the mood of grief with funereal piano accompanying a Narrator to set the scene before the Widow’s lament is heard. The people wail in accompanying sympathy behind her song, which she wails the second time through while the choir sing sympathetically along. One of the longer and more challenging numbers in the Miracles of Jesus Series 1, this song features a soprano solo. Also available a tone higher with an orchestral score - please e-mail Duncan for details.
