God So Loved
Beginning with John 3:16, this musical tells the remarkable Passion story. The theme of God's love is highlighted in every step of Jesus' journey to the cross. With a light contemporary feel in the rhythm and harmony, the music is full of memorable melodies with dramatic flair. From the rhythmic call of Hosanna, God Save Us to the reassuring Remember I Am There to the dramatic one-note melody of They Came to Arrest Him, this work will provide a moving experience for any service during Holy Week. The choir parts are carefully crafted and choir tested, ensuring that your singers will perform with confidence. Four of the pieces may serve as Sunday anthems while the larger work is being prepared. Accompaniment can be provided by piano or a small ensemble of 11 instruments, arranged by Ed Hogan.
