Composed for saxophone quartet and voice by Jonathon Roberts, setting a part of Apostle Paul’s regret-filled message to the Corinthians. In his second letter, Paul spoke to the people he served in many different ways. We see in this passage a tender and sad side of Paul as he alerts the Corinthians of his change of plans.

This piece deals with some of Paul’s favorite themes: wisdom vs. foolishness, weakness and humility, and the painful “groaning” of this world.
