Reviews

a moving 35-minute meditation on the seven last words of Jesus in 16 short movements. Any church with a good cantor and a modestly capable choir can make a memorable service of it . . . Everything's very appealing and easy on the ear, and the presence of beloved bymns and scriptural passages is sure to foster the sense of sacred nostalgia among congregations that often adds up to meaningful worship

There are many versions of the Seven Last Words but Bullard's, interwoven with well-loved hymns including the title piece, has a satisfying form, dramatic shape and meditative logic that few can match . . . He's a populist, but a highly intelligent and challenging one
