About I Am Cold (Prodigal Son)
Frances Matthews' anthem I Am Cold (Prodigal Son) sets a poignant English text of repentance and seeking forgiveness. Scored for SATB choir, this sacred work explores themes of spiritual coldness and a plea for the warmth of divine love and acceptance. The lyrics depict a soul lost and yearning for a return to grace, responding to a loving invitation with questions of 'how' and receiving assurances of guidance and embrace. The music is designed to reflect the vulnerability and ultimate hope found within the text, offering a moving reflection on the parable of the Prodigal Son.
