Orchestration-The Rose of Calvary is the greatly anticipated sequel to the best-selling cantata The Winter Rose. Using the same beautiful imagery the work tells the story of Jesus's ministry passion death on the cross and histriumphant resurrection. This creative work has nine new anthems and contains opportunities for soloists and narrators. Written to function as either a work for Holy Week or with the optional ending as a joyful celebration of theresurrection this musical offers maximum flexibility to the director. Brant Adams reprises his role as orchestrator and Pamela Martin once again provides thoughtful and meaningful narration. Spectacular!

From the composer of Festival of Carols and The Winter Rose comes a cantata that celebrates the legacy of early American carols and hymnody. Composed in the spirit of folk music the cantata combines traditionalsounds with more rustic elements creating a blend that is fresh and pleasing. Popular American carols like Away In a Manger and O Little Town of Bethlehem dance with traditional spirituals such as Children GoWhere I Send Thee and Go Tell It on the Mountain. Sacred Harp tunes are re-tooled for Advent and stand alongside new versions of Shaker hymns and Appalachian melodies.
