Seven Last Words from the Cross

Album by Sir James MacMillan

Seven Last Words from the Cross is a choral composition by Scottish composer James MacMillan, composed in 1993. Scored for choir, soloists and ensemble, it combines austere, meditative textures with a modern harmonic language that blends dissonance, modal inflections and liturgical chant influences, and marks a key example of MacMillan's turn towards large-scale sacred music in the 1990s.
