Sacred Places

Here is a new major work for Spring programming, based on early American folk songs and hymns. Sacred Places explores the story of Christ's ministry, passion and resurrection, all emphasizing the locations where these great moments occurred: The Sea of Galilee, The Wedding at Cana, The Sermon on the Mount, Jerusalem, The Upper Room, The Garden of Gethsemane, Calvary and the Garden of Resurrection. With poignant narrations and scripture, along with the creative orchestrations by Brant Adams, this is a memorable telling of the life of Christ. Two distinct endings are provided, allowing for a presentation during Holy Week that ends with the crucifixion, or an Easter moment that concludes with a joyful affirmation of life. Songs include: Prelude; Songs from the River; Come and Hear the Wondrous Story; My Song in the Night; Lift Up Your Heads, Jerusalem; The Remembering; The Midnight Garden; A Green Hill Far Away; Sunrise; Alleluia! Christ Is Risen! Full Orchestration (fl 1-2, ob, cl 1-2, bn, hn 1-2, tpt 1-3, tbn 1-2, tba, hp, pno, timp, perc 1-2, vn 1-2, va, vc, db) available as a Printed Edition and as a digital download.
