John Rutter's I My Best-Beloved's Am for SATB (with divisions) unaccompanied.I My Best-Beloved's Am was written in 1999 for a BBC Singers broadcast concert on the theme of the Seven Sacraments. This a cappella anthem focuses on the theme of marriage - setting the nuptial responses from the old Tridentine Catholic marriage service and stanzas from Francis Quarles's poetic paraphrase of the Song of Solomon - but as the Song of Solomon is often understood as symbolic of the love between Christ and his Church is also suitable for use throughout the Church year. Gregorian chant is the prevalent musical influence and the maleand female voices are offset against each other in an effective contrast.

Uses: Good Friday Holy Week Scripture: Matthew 12:48 - John 19:26 A very singular perspective is presented in the text of this emotional anthem for Good Friday. The tears of Mary are used to not only express a mother's pain and loss but the deep sorrow of us all as we consider the cost of grace. The main theme in minor moves with the restraint of a heavy burden as the harmonies provide a deep sense of grief and mourning. The cello adds color and motion to the pulsing of the piano delivering an almost dirge-like impact to the spirit of the work. Passionate poetry meets thoughtful music!
