What Wondrous Hope
Mingling traditional and contemporary elements, this cantata tells the story of Christ's ministry, passion, and resurrection with thoughtful narration by Pamela Stewart. Great hymnody and modern worship songs are woven together in a way that is especially useful for the traditional/transitional church. Bringing the various services of the season into the community, this work provides for two distinct endings for optimal programming flexibility. A full line of support products is available to assist learning and performance, including a chamber orchestration. This outstanding balance of ancient and modern music is a thoughtful choice for churches exploring a diversity of musical styles in worship. Songs: Untitled; Speak, O Lord; Come, Ye Seekers; Home (The Arms of God); Hosanna (with All Glory, Laud and Honor); Behold the Lamb (Communion Hymn); Gethsemane Hymn; What Wondrous Love Is This; Mercy Tree and Easter Song. 50 minutes.
