commitment of our lives to God. Supported by
optional parts for violin and cello (included),
"Prayers at the Cross" is sure to be a powerful
addition to any worship setting!

The Risen ChristKeith Getty & Stuart Townend/
arr. Williamson. Ten strong, theologically rich
songs by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend
form the basis for this Easter musical. Actual
footage from the "Matthew" film, incorporated
into an accompaniment DVD, coupled with
Dave Williamson's cinematic scoring create
an epic experience for your church. The vocal
arrangements can be sung effectively by a smaller
choir using a mixture of 2-part to 4-part voicings.
The narration, adapted literally from Scripture,
is conceived in a "reader's theater" format, as
the video conveys the biblical setting. Staging
requires no sets, drama, or costumes, though
production notes offer suggestions. Many of the
songs provide year-round use for missions, Bible
reading, communion, discipleship, invitations,
and congregational singing. Behold the Lamb,
the Getty's and Townend's newest modern hymn
for communion, is also included as a bonus
arrangement. Titles: The Risen Christ; The Power of
the Cross; Across the Lands; See, What a Morning;
Hear the Call of the Kingdom; O Church, Arise;
Speak, O Lord; In Christ Alone; Beneath the Cross
of Jesus; and Behold the Lamb.

Rose of CalvaryJoseph Martin. "I Love the
Rose of Calvary, God's gift of hope, God's gift of
grace." Joseph Martin uses his special gift of
music with understandable metaphoric lyrics in
this beautiful Easter Cantata. One cannot state how
powerful an impact this cantata will have on the
listener. At times the music is understated, softly
but profoundly conveying an idea, at other times
bold, regal and majestic as it describes the joy
and hope we have in the resurrected Christ. Highly
recommended! (Duration: 47 minutes.)

American folk songs and hymns. Filled with
time-honored tunes and texts, this masterfully
arranged work will connect with the congregation

cantata with variety and skill. Optional moments

Song of the ShadowsJoseph Martin. In
this deeply moving Holy Week cantata we find a
powerful invitation to contemplate the love and
sacrifice of Christ through expressive choral
singing. The combination of Pamela Martin's
narrative and Brant Adams' orchestrations with
Joseph Martin's extraordinary compositions add
color and depth to a timeless message. "Come to
the shadows, the flickering candle. Silence yourself
in the still of this place. Here in this moment as
silence surrounds you, Open your heart to the
music of grace." Exquisite!

H
Tenebrae: A Service of DarknessHal Hopson.
This exceptionally moving work is destined to
become a staple in Holy Week repertoire for decades
to come! It may be performed as a service in its
entirety, or portions of the work may be extracted
and performed separately throughout Holy Week.
Numerous congregational responses are included,
as well as opportunities for congregational singing.
The service portrays the solemn drama of the final
hours of Christ's life on earth with a sensitivity and
depth of emotion seldom heard in a work that is
well within the reach of all choirs. This cantata is
simply magnificent, and we are pleased to award it
our very highest recommendation!
