Tune name “SOLIDAD”

There’s a recent song that begins “Alone in Gethsemane”, it’s #179, classified under Lent, words (5 vv.) and music by William B. Petricko, © 1996. The tune name is given as SOLIDAD. Is this a typo for SOLEDAD? The latter certainly “makes more sense”, since it is Spanish for “loneliness”, while “solidad” is a verb form meaning “consolidate”. Perhaps someone at Celebrating Grace can tell us?

    It is not a typo. I named it SOLIDAD. From the English Word SOLIDARITY. Hope the song is a blessing to you. The tune name is not important to the message of the hymn.

    The John Julians of the future salute you, sir! Thanks, in the name of all hymnologists yet unborn, for that clarification. 🙂 It looks like a good tune, and I’ve already found the text a useful meditation.
