No solos. Just a phenomenal choir with good complicated pieces. The other piece I’d like to hear again was an Easter piece. I keep bumping into a bible verse when I search for the words. What I remember was
hath dealt bitterly
hath dealt bitterly with me
call me now no more naomi
from today call me mara
It’s very low. Catholic girls’ school, so Maureen Tobin would have been our soloist. I should email her and see if she or our soprano soloist remember.
I will try to find it. My close friend runs the music program at her Catholic church, and is very knowledgable. If I cannot find it, she may. Check back...
Here is my best candidate (until I can speak to my friend):
Theodore Dubois, “The Seven Last Words of Jesus Christ” [Latin, 1867; English, 1899].
The opening solo is for soprano, and appears to match your description.
If you go to either of the below sites, then you should find a detailed delineation of the piece:
