The Hands That First Held Mary's Child by Lloyd Larson 4-Part - Sheet Music

By Lloyd Larson

A poignant text by Thomas Troeger is set to a new tune by Lloyd Larson. The minor melody conveys the message perfectly and provides the opportunity for close harmonies. Unison and two-part writing comprise the first two stanzas, then the refrain opens up into relative major with beautiful harmonies. A key change provides lift into the third stanza, and the last refrain climaxes with beautiful harmonies and energy. The piece concludes quietly. Stunning! Available separately: Score and part for Cello. Orchestration: Score and parts for Flutes 1 & 2, Oboe, Soprano Saxophone (sub. for Oboe), Bb Clarinet (sub. for Oboe, Horns 1 & 2, or Viola), Horns in F 1 & 2, Percussion, Harp, Violins 1 & 2, Viola, Cello, String Bass, and Piano.
