The American Guild of Organists celebrated its 2016 annual convention by commissioning Adolphus Hailstork to create a one-movement work for Viola and Organ, for which Hailstork created the haunting Lenten Mourning Tears. Engulfed in inspiration and ideas for this striking instrumental pairing, the composer added a mystically beautiful Christmas movement, and a sublime Easter, resulting in a three-movement concert suite whose movements could also stand alone for liturgical settings. For advanced organists.
