A Choral Meditation on the Sacrifice of Christ

The theme of this work is found in the title, taken from Isaac Watts final phrase, "love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all." The significance of this work is found in the narrative itself, taken from scripture, as the agony of Holy Week culminates in the triumphal resurrect-ion. The artistry of the work is found in the salient simplicity of the music, well crafted in its accessibility and compelling in its effect. The impact of this work is found in the artful melding of music and text, mood and meaning and the emotion and enduring impact of the events depicted. The ultimate result will be a memorable service of worship that will linger in the hearts and minds of all who witness it. Performance time: 30 minute
