Easter Musicals AS SURE AS MY REDEEMER LIVES . . . SO SHALL I
adult musical
An Easter Worship Experience Created by TONY WOOD AND ROBERT STERLING Arranged and Orchestrated by ROBERT STERLING
With joyful, genuine, and thoughtful praise, As Sure as My Redeemer Lives . . . So Shall I, created by Robert Sterling and Tony Wood, invites choir and congregation to reflect on the prophecies of Israel, consider the passion of the cross, and accept the promises of salvation. From the driving, dynamic “Blessed Be” to the thoughtful “Come As You Are,” listeners will be captivated by both the music and message presented in this musical about our Redeemer's great love for us. With straightforward arrangements that are easy to sing, the choir and worship leader (with or without a praise team) deliver well-crafted songs for contemporary choir. The accompaniments, for a rhythm section only or for a "rock orchestra," are deliberately spare, so that the songs always remain the central focus. This Easter season, celebrate the truth that because He lives, so shall we! Song Titles: Blessed Be with O Come, O Come, Emmanuel • Hosanna • Surely • All Because of the Cross • Sure as My Redeemer Lives • Power in the Blood • Come As You Are • The Head That Once Was Crowned with Thorns with All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name Highlights: DIFFICULTY LEVEL:

BECAUSE WE BELIEVE
easy adult musical
An Easter Affirmation of Our Faith Created and Arranged by MARTY PARKS
In a despairing world looking for answers and real truth, Christians' proclamation of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus can bring hope and life to searching hearts. But to share that truth, we must believe it. Because We Believe, created by Marty Parks, is an Easter affirmation of our faith and calls us to rise and proclaim our beliefs with courage. Inspirational reader-response narrations begin with a declaration of truths about Christ and then walk through the crucifixion with stirring emotion. Accessible arrangements of both new and familiar Easter songs, including a powerhouse version of “The Blood Will Never Lose It's Power” and a thrilling “Behold He Comes” medley, encourage choir and congregation to embrace and celebrate the pivotal message of the gospel: Christ's sacrificial love for us. While not compromising on fullness of sound, this musical is ideal for smaller choirs or larger choirs with limited rehearsal time and delivers a powerful message without elaborate staging. The time has come. The time is now. Let's stand and share what we believe! Song Titles: Our God Saves with Because We Believe • Great Is Your Glory • He Looked Beyond My Fault • The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power with Grace Greater than Our Sin • Jesus Paid It All with Above All • Crown Him with Many Crowns • Behold He Comes with Days of Elijah, Hallelujah! What a Savior and It Is Well with My Soul • Because We Believe Highlights: DIFFICULTY LEVEL:

• Offers inspirational Easter narrations reaffirming fundamental Christian truths • Features a single narrator and arrangements for one male and one female solo (optional unison for men/women) • Provides easy-to-learn arrangements ideal for smaller choirs or larger choirs with limited rehearsal time

Easter Musical TAPESTRY OF DARKNESS
adult cantata
By RUTH ELAINE SCHRAM “Beyond the tapestry of darkness, the light still shines.” Comparing the events of Jesus’ final hours to an ever-darkening tapestry of green, brown, white and red, Ruth Elaine Schram has written a truly poignant work for Holy Week. Scored for choir and optional chamber orchestra, the hauntingly lovely melodies are interspersed with readings from prophesy and the gospels. Also includes performance recommendations for communion and the Tenebrae extinguishing of candles to further enhance the impact of this stirring, yet accessible work.
Song Titles: A Call to Reflection • In Communion • Celebrate the Shadow • Not as I Will • The Crimson Thread • Behold Your King • O Sacred Head Now Wounded • Tapestry of Darkness
Highlights:
• Can be presented during Holy Week, or as a Tenebrae service on Maundy Thursday or Good Friday • Narrations require one reader or may be divided among multiple participants DIFFICULTY LEVEL:
