Composed by Stanley M. Hoffman. Advanced/Collegiate. 21st Century, Lament/Grief/Sorrow. Octavo. Duration 5 minutes, 15 seconds. E.C. Schirmer Publishing #7.0696. Published by E.C. Schirmer Publishing (EC.7-0696).
ISBN 600313706967. UPC: 600313706967. English. 2 Samuel 18:33.
The form of this piece consists of three dirges and a thrice-repeated refrain. The grief-driven text is itself repetitive, which inspired similar musical treatment. The first dirge for tenor solo or unison tenor 1 section, represents the lone voice of the bereaved father, King David, calling out in realization upon hearing the news of the loss of his son (refrain). Dirge 2 is imitative in nature, inspired by the image of King David moving through the cavernous passageways of his palace, his lamenting voice echoing throughout; one could similarly imagine his forlorn thoughts echoing around his mind (refrain). The third dirge is homophonic, chorale-like: the king in his chamber over the gate, still inconsolable; one could similarly think of this as a chorale in memory of Absalom himself (refrain). Duration: 5:15.
