Composed by Stephen DeCesare. Arranged by Stephen DeCesare. This edition: pdf, streaming. Christian, Gospel, Lent, Religious, Sacred. Score. 68 pages. Exultet Music #1296196. Published by Exultet Music (A0.1734683).This deeply moving cantata traces the Blessed Virgin Mary’s seven sorrows as recorded in Scripture — from Simeon’s prophecy to the burial of Christ. Blending original compositions with two timeless public-domain texts (Coventry Carol and O Come and Mourn), the work unfolds as a continuous meditation on faith, suffering, and maternal love.
Scored for narrator, female solo, 2-part choir (Part 1: High Voices (Sop. & Ten), Part 2: Low Voices (Alto & Bass) with Piano accompaniment. It can be performed complete or in sections for Lent, Holy Week, or Marian devotionals. Each movement captures a unique emotional dimension: prophecy, exile, loss, encounter, crucifixion, lament, and repose — culminating in a quiet benediction of peace and surrender.
