Eli, Eli! was completed in June of 2003.
This performance is by Vanguard Voices, conducted by G.
Kevin Dewey.
Vanguard Voices is a model of a community choral
organization, sponsoring composition competitions (Eli, Eli! received Honorable
Mention in the 2004 competition), commissioning new works and producing fine
recordings - all superbly run by Director G. Kevin Dewey in Dearborn, MI.
"Eli, Eli!" is a setting of one the Seven Last Words from the Cross,
a quotation by Jesus of the prophetic first verse of Psalm 22. The setting weaves together the original Aramaic with its English translation.
