Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ

Holy Week is vividly encapsulated in this remarkable composition. It com-bines narratives of biblical verse and religious poetry, congregational singing, and original choral settings of familiar hymns to dramatize Jesus' final days and hours. The work is conceived to enhance the preparatory celebration of Easter The music is, by turns, reflective (THE CALL), introspective (O LOVE, HOW DEEP, HOW BROAD, HOW HIGH), commanding (RIDE ON RIDE ON IN MAJESTY), gentle(LET US BREAK BREAD TOGETHER), dramatic (GO TO DARK GETHSEMANE), and ultimately, life-accepting (WERE YOU THERE?). This noteworthy musical achievement enhances the most important celebration of the Christian year.
