Experience the emotional depth of Feed My Sheep, a stirring choral work that brings to life the poignant exchange between Jesus and Simon from John 21.
With each repetition of Christ’s question, the music intensifies, culminating in a powerful climax as Simon fervently insists his love is true. Jesus’ solemn command, “Feed my sheep,” echoes after the soaring harmonies, leading to a haunting coda where a subtle Dies Irae in the organ foreshadows the disciples’ fate. The piece concludes with a breathtaking solo floating above the choir’s soft final chord, as Jesus gently calls, “Follow me.”
A deeply expressive and unforgettable work for your choir.
