Full score for The Body of Christ (55/1197L) Pepper Choplin beautifully and creatively crafted this telling of the final days of Jesus’ life, focusing on the meaning of His words and actions leading to the cross. With stunning melodies and a powerful orchestration by Michael Lawrence, we reflect on the feet that walked the earth, the hands that touched and healed, the voice that spoke the Word of God, and the head that bore a crown of thorns as Jesus was sacrificed. From the worshipful opener, We Behold His Glory, to the meditative and stunningly powerful path to the cross, O Sacred Journey, the importance of Christ’s body remains the center point of this work. The final number, We Are the Body of Christ, is a benediction that can be presented immediately following the preceding number or after closing remarks from a speaker. For Christ is our head and though we are many, His Spirit will make us one…Go now as the body of Christ..

Johann Hermann Schein's Israelsbrunnlein, published in Leipzig in 1623, is a supreme achievement not only among the works of this composer, who had been Thomaskantor in Leipzig since 1616, but also for the entire body of German music written during the first half of the 17th century. Among the 26 motets written in the Italian madrigal manner 23 are settings of Old Testament texts, a fact to which the collection owes its title. The source for the text of this collection is the inexhaustible fountain of the Psalms, the books of Moses, the Prophets, the Songs of Solomon, and other books of the Old Testament.

From unison to full 4-part harmony, the gradual amassing of forces adds interest and passion to this essential work. The final statement of the chant brings the piece to a glorious conclusion. Much of the piece is a cappella, but piano reductions and closed-score writing make it easy to double the voices for support, if needed.

Ruders writes: gl0rIA is subtitled: a relique for large chorus and 12 brass-instruments. At the same time it is an exercise for chorus because only vowels do occur, or virtually no consonants are heard. The second part of the Missa Ordinarium, the Gloria in Exelcis Deo makes the literary basis of g10rIA, but I employ only the vowels, which in their full context form a non-language, - fragments of a tradition. A less dim vision of the severed body appears in the center of the piece, where the Domini Fili-section surfaces in its original shape. gl0rIA is a 20th century composer's hommage to the innocent faith of bygone days and a fanfare in honour of Claudio Monteverdi; thus the ever present elaborations of the introduction to the Vespro Della Beate Vergine. Superimposed on the torso of Latin, I wedge in a quotation from the Spanish renaissance poet Gonzalo de Berceo's Duelo de la Virgen, a surrealistic Lamento, in which the Jews, sent by Pilate to stand guard at the tomb of Christ, mock and ridicule Maria, Jesu mother. Thus a shadow has been cast over the jubilant religious appraisal of the past, which today's knowledge of atrocities and enormities engineered by Mankind, has - alas - made so hard to repeat.
