Title Description Order

The Paschal Lamb

An Easter cantata in three parts

Approx. total performance time: 45 min.

What makes this Easter cantata unique is that it tells the entire Easter story using only Old Testament scriptures. Beginning with the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and progressing through the resurrection, this cantata uses the words of the Old Testament prophets to present the story.

This cantata is scored for choir, soloists, small orchestra, synthesizer, and rhythm section instruments. For a list of the full instrumentation for this work, see the first page of the Conductor's Score PDF sample file.

Print-oriented materials include:

    Conductor Score

    Vocal Score (octavo size)

    Instrumental parts

    Program and performance notes

Demo recordings and rehearsal CDs are also available.

Composed in the historical tradition of cantatas (as opposed to the late 20th and early 21st century American notions of what constitutes a cantata), this work uses musical motifs and themes, soloists, choral singing, and instrumental interludes to dramatically present this most dramatic of all events in history.

Stylistically, this cantata is a unique blend of traditional and contemporary musical styles. Compositionally, it also draws from both traditional and contemporary techniques and practices.

Guaranteed to provide both your performers and your audience with a most unusual and unforgettable experience!
