2 oreord Praise e to the God and ather of our Lord esus Christ ho, accordin to His reat mercy, has iven us reirth into A Livin Hope throuh the resurrection of esus Christ from the dead. (1 Peter 1:, adapt.) Durin the ourney from Palm Sunday to Easter, e itness extraordinary imaes of hope ained, hope lost, and hope reorn. We ein in erusalem, standin amon the crods shoutin Hosanna! as Kin esus the Messiah, the Livin Hope rides triumphantly y. Remarkaly, only a fe days later, e atch as, incomprehensily, the Hope of the World is put on trial, condemned to death, crucified on Golotha s hill, and uried in a dark tom the Liht of Hope seeminly extinuished. Hope. Even esus closest friends douted His promise: In three days I ill rise aain. But death as salloed up in victory, and throuh His death and resurrection, e ho follo esus receive ne irth into A Livin Hope. Inspired y this cornerstone of our faith, Tom ettke and Thomas Grassi have created a cantata distinuished musically y its use of 19 th century American sources. The openin chorus, hich is reprised as the finale, sets the tone ith a lively tune from The Christian Lyre. The Shaker melody, olloers of the Lam, is the perfect fit for the Palm Sunday chorus; the choir s antiphonal shouts are especially effective. The melody from Wayfarin Straner, paired ith Barton Stone s remarkale text, is the perfect choice for the scene at Golotha. Easter dans ith a little em of a spiritual, One Sunday Mornin, that recounts the ilical narrative ith utter simplicity and spine-tinlin drama. The resurrection chorus dances in triumph ith the hymn tunes Nettleton and Diademata, and lyrics from Wordsorth, Crosy, and Brides. And traditional folk hymns pulse ith the oy of salvation in Our Livin Hope: I kno that my Redeemer lives; lory, lory halleluah! What oy this lest assurance ives; lory, lory halleluah! Scripture is filled ith references to hope, and ettke s six scripture-ased narratives oth instruct and inspire today s listener. They can e performed y one or more narrators. Key to the success of any church musical is its craftsmanship for church choirs lare and small. Approximately 0 minutes lon, A Livin Hope is scored for SATB (55/1178L) or SAB (55/1182L) voices ith three optional solos.
