Set against flowing piano triplets, this anthem on the hymntune ST.
CHRISTOPHER is heartfelt and expressive. The familiar melody is always
at the center of this arrangement, surrounded by mixed voices with
some simple divisi at cadence points. The final measures are a beautiful
statement of resolve on "my glory all, the cross." Exquisite!

The Carpenter
I Saw the Cross of Jesus
Joseph M. Martin.
Set in three scenes from the life of Christ, this unique offering uses text as
sacred metaphor, connecting the listener to Jesus as Carpenter, Healer
and Redeemer. Based upon a folk song, the music moves from gentle
beauty to power and drama. The final lines of "it is finished, it is good"
bring an emotional completion to the great story.

Victor C. Johnson.
"And in the cross of Jesus, I found my peace with God." Victor Johnson's
new setting of Frederick Whitfield's moving text is every bit as compelling
and introspective as the poetry. Accessible and deeply expressive, the
piece is appropriate for prayerful moments through the church year, but
particularly effective during the Lenten season. And, the addition of Lowell
Mason's When I Survey the Wondrous Cross brings the message to a
thoughtful conclusion.

Dark Gethsemane
Lloyd Larson.
James Montgomery's hymn invites us to travel redemption's path with
Jesus, from Gethsemane to the judgement hall, and finally to Calvary's
mountain. Lloyd Larson's expressive melody is similarly inviting, but in a
convicting way that is beautifully rendered through each of these passion
vignettes. Voices, piano, accessible choral harmonies and a brief quote of
Herzliebster Jesu combine for a striking reminder of Christ's final hours.
