“Emmaus” is a pretty song with an obvious subject matter so when that reading pops up it is a natural. It is also No 41 in AOV NG and is by GIA artist Tony Alonso. The indicated tempo of 120-126 is too fast – it is better <110/min. The bridge is musically a surprise to go with their eyes becoming open to the presence of Jesus in the stranger. The arrangement of the CD is awfully polite and my backing has been influenced by this I’m afraid.
The sheet music is available at GIA, along with extra instrumental music.
My backing is for people who have the music but can’t just see how it goes (ie basic strumming guitarists like me).
