When Jesus Wept

This poignant 4 part canon is great for:

  • Singing in natural minor.
  • Teaching 3/2 metre.
  • Appreciating singing adagio - beautiful music does not need to be fast!
  • Singing in up to 4 parts.
  • Practising the rhythmic element 'tum ti' (dotted crotchet, quaver / dotted quarter note, eighth note).

N.B. If you are unable to use these lyrics in your school, simply use solfa instead.
