3 Sacred Music or Sacred Moments rom the composer Throughout the riting process, I as striving to compose sacred music music that conveyed these prooundly sacred moments in esus lie I tried to careully crat the music to convey the hushed voices and sot light o His last assover meal, the tension and anguish o Gethsemane, and the paradox and poer o the cross The narration style as inspired y the BS documentaries o Ken Burns I visualize the readings eing done rom ostage, perhaps ith some visuals on a screen eel ree to adapt the material to your on situation Have the readers speak the passages ith an unhurried pace The ords should not e emotionalized, ut read as an engaging lecture The character quotes should e read in a sudued, intimate style as i reading a quote rom a diary Speak the names at the end o each as an audile signing o the passage The narrator should simply lead the listener through the story The music supplies the drama and the passion Come Walk With Me In each version o this song, the soloist and the choir should try to dra the listeners in to lead them to see and eel the drama o the story The irst solo could e sung rom the congregation hile alking toard the ront Blessed Is He Who Comes eel the moment as the soloist signals the distant arrival o Christ Then the choir ursts into oyul celeration and praise The style o the music is not meant to e rivolous, ut a resh ay to express the exuerance o the moment The Upper Room I as really eeling the sot and lickering light o the scene here It as such an intimate setting in hich esus said goodye Later, the piece reaks out o the intimacy and rushes through the passage, go quickly no and do hat you must do Then it settles into resignation as it repeats, go do hat you must do 55/118L-

4 Crossroads at Gethsemane eel the inner turmoil and tension o Christ s decision Later, allo the music to explode into the text, Look, the etrayer is at hand Be especially careul ith the inal consonants through this piece On the inal measure, experiment to ind the right eect or the our eats o the sot, sustaining ssssss Hanging on a Cross Notice the constant change o maor and minor throughout This is to convey the paradox o the prophet and healer eing hung on a cross Accentuate the contrast o the maor and minor harmonic phrases Sing the eginning o each verse more rightly Then add eight to the phrase, He s hanging on a cross Lay His Body Don Notice the descending melodies as the ody is loered don Sing ith a clean, straight tone to allo the dierent parts to e heard erhaps, control the higher sections a it and add ullness to the loer range Add a little muscle or the climax ith the high E s in part one Strive or a ell-shaped level o intensity as the music uilds to its climax, then tapers to the end No Greater Love Ater all the tension and pain, this song is meant to e a relie a time o seet relection on the extraordinary meaning and signiicance o the cross The piano should imitate a guitar ith smooth, precise articulations eel the steadiness o the eat He Arose You may choose to save this piece or your Easter service I so, the ork ill end naturally ith No Greater Love, olloed y the choral enediction Come Walk With Me Into the World In this enediction, you may choose to have the soloist sloly alk toard the ack o the sanctuary hile singing o going into the orld epper Choplin 55/118L-
