Jesus falls for the third time
For bass clarinet
Jesus falls for the third time was premiered by clarinettist Anna McGregor on 13 March 2008 at the Gus Fisher Gallery in central Auckland.
About the work
To commemorate Easter in 2008, St Helier’s Presbyterian Church commissioned 15 New Zealand composers and artists to create works in response to one of the stations of the cross.
My piece, not programmatic, refers to the ninth station, where Jesus stumbles and falls under the weight of the cross he is forced to carry to his crucifixion.
