Confession Of Faults by Graham Patterson — Lyrics
The evil which I have heaped up
Through my ignorance and foolishnessevil in the world of everyday experience,
As well as evil in understanding and intelligence
All that I acknowledge to the Protectors.
Standing before them
With hands raised in reverence,

About Confession Of Faults
Graham Patterson’s Confession Of Faults is a powerful setting for SATB voices of an English text, exploring themes of remorse and seeking forgiveness. The music begins with a solemn, contrapuntal texture, the voices weaving together to create a rich and often intense harmonic landscape that reflects the gravity of the lyrical content. As the text progresses, the music shifts, embracing moments of supplication and yearning, with soaring lines and moments of stark harmonic clarity. The piece builds to a fervent plea for acceptance, offering a profound musical meditation on accountability and the desire for redemption. It is a deeply affecting work suited for liturgical settings or concerts where profound expression is sought.
