For Such a One as ThisMark Hayes, Jim Custer
& Bob Hoose. This is a truly unique and dramatic
retelling of the greatest story ever told. Whether
performed as a service of worship during Lent or
Holy Week or as an awe-inspiring Easter service
(with the inclusion of the optional final monologue
and chorus), this soul-stirring presentation will
touch and enliven congregations from the most
liturgical to the most contemporary of traditions.
Monologues from Judas, Peter, Pontius Pilate,
Simon of Cyrene, Mary, the two thieves crucified
with Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and (optionally)
John, relate the dramatic events from their own
perspectives and are woven into the fabric and
passion of the music. An accompaniment DVD

CD (music only) is available, as are a Production
Guide and a Sound Effects CD for live presentations.
This exciting new work is accessible technically,
dramatically and musically, including parts for an
SATB choir, unison children's choir, alto and tenor
soloist, and nine dramatic characters.

I
Am the Lord of the DanceJoel Raney.
Sydney Carter's classic hymn Lord of the Dance
is a metaphor of the life of Christ. In beautiful,
poetic language, Carter describes Jesus as The
Piper, calling his followers to the dance of life.
This 30-minute musical from Joel Raney is an
elaboration on that hymn, portraying each verse
individually in a dramatic, colorful presentation.
All retelling the story from John 3:16, "For God
so loved the world that he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him may not
perish, but may have eternal life." Appropriate for
use anytime during Lent or Holy Week, for Palm
Sunday or Easter morning, there is an additional
narration and underscore that leads into an exciting,
complete setting of Lord of the Dance, celebrating
Christ's victorious resurrection. For Maundy
Thursday or Good Friday, it may be concluded
with the musical benediction My Jesus, I Love
Thee. Narration and scripture have been carefully
chosen to complete the story, tying together the
verses of Lord of the Dance with a variety of other
timeless hymns and songs, creating a meaningful
worship experience for the congregation. The
piano accompaniment works extremely well
by itself, while the optional instrumental parts
require a minimal number of players and will
enhance the overall effect.

I
n Calvary's Shadow (A Tenebrae Service)
Victor Johnson. "In Calvary's Shadow" is a deeply
moving service of penitence and forgiveness.
With elegant simplicity, it invites the faithful to
experience Jesus' journey from betrayal through
crucifixion with a tightly woven tapestry of dramatic
scripture readings, vocal solos and congregational
singing. Using arrangements of spirituals and
gospel hymns as well as newly composed music,
it also incorporates the ritual extinguishing of
seven candles, leaving the church in total darkness
except for the Christ Candle. After a period of quiet
meditation, God's people exit the church in silence.
Approximately 30 minutes in length, this dramatic
service can be performed with or without simple
staging and costumes, and the readings can be
performed by as many as five readers.
