The Wounded Rose

By Diane Hannibal, arr. by Douglas Nolan

The evocative imagery of this anthem shares the passion of Christ with a melancholy melody and expressive harmonies. Sensitively voiced for SAB, this Holy Week offering is reserved in scope and reverent in concept. An approachable piano accompaniment completes the package and wraps it in a layer of pure beauty. “O wounded rose, Your fragrance is grace. The garden sighs for You and waits for Your embrace.”
