Product Description

"By the waters of Babylon, we sat down and wept for Zion."  Noted as a "Jewish melody" in several hymnals, this canon melody with text adapted from Psalm 137:1 is often attributed to Philip Hayes.  This piece adds additional text and music based on the next three verses of the psalm, and haunting, mournful flute and piano interludes to help to capture the spirit of this psalm of lament.  Originally written for a sermon series focused on the Book of Lamentations, but could also be appropriate for Lent, All Saints Day, or any occasion for expressing sadness, grief, or remembrance.  For SA(T)B choir with piano and flute; duration approx. 4'.
