1. The Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ According to St. Luke; Abridged Version, Unabridged Version
This choral work, written for SAT choir, soloists, narrator, and piano, consists of a musical setting for the Passion of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Gospel of Luke, the Gospel reading given on Palm Sunday in many Christian churches. The setting is meant to take place of the orally-recited version of the scripture. Soloists and choir sing the spoken (character) parts in the Gospel verses. The story narration is read by a narrator over piano accompaniment. A shorter, abridged version, with some character parts spoken instead of sung, takes approximately 25 minutes to perform. The unabridged version requires approximately 30 minutes.
