This anthem begins with a haunting entrance by the viola playing "O Sacred Head Now Wounded". The piece then alternates between the viola and the choir, with the choir singing a beautiful text by Sylvia Dunstan that continues to ask "Who is this who walks among us?" Ferguson's writing gives equal weight to both choral and viola part. Viola part included. A cycle of four seasonal hymn anthems for choir and viola.
