This beautiful piece by Tobin Stokes is loosely based on the five stages of grieving by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross. The first section of the music, set for 6-part treble choir on the text “Hear my prayer, Oh Lord,” is polyphonic at a subdued dynamic level. The second phrase of the verse, “and let my crying come unto thee,” is homophonic and builds to a full climax before diminishing to a very soft and passionate ending.
