Holy Week, Eastertide, Sacred. Choral score and performance CD. Published by Lorenz Publishing Company (LO.55-1156L). "No Stone Could Hold Him" is a spirited witness to the ministry, passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus, the Rock of our Salvation. Written by celebrated composer Lloyd Larson, this powerful work is filled with scripture-based images of Jesus as "A Rock in a Weary Land," even when tempted by Satan to "turn these stones to food;" as the Solid Rock on which we stand through "Winds of Change" and "Shifting Sand;" as Jerusalem's triumphant King who commands the rocks to keep silent; as the Cornerstone of our faith, betrayed and crucified; and as the risen Savior whom no stone could hold in the tomb. Inspired by these images, the music is bold and enlivening with rousing original music alongside energetic spirituals and gospel songs. This dramatic work is an exceptional choice for Easter worship with its seven choruses and options for duets and solos. It can also be performed during the Lenten season or Holy Week by omitting the final chorus.

"The Way of the Cross Leads Home" by Mary McDonald is a powerful affirmation of our faith: that the path to everlasting life is found in Christ's journey to the cross. The music reflects Mary's deep roots in Christian hymnody and her belief that "hymns constitute our Christian heritage and provide a rich reservoir of spiritual guidance. It is through the singing of these great songs that we restate the purpose of our belief and the hope of our existence. The spiritual nourishment of these well-known texts supplies us with the reassurance that the Bible is true and God is real." The inspired combination of traditional hymn tunes and Mary's original melodies creates a seamless flow as the words of the hymns partner with the narrative to tell the story. Along the way, both performer and listener will pause to reflect upon and experience those events of 2,000 years ago--and to be reminded that, throughout this journey of faith, we have a Savior who will lead us to our eternal home.

Beautiful Dreamer. (from "Foster's America"). By David R. Gillingham. For concert band (Flute 1/2, Oboe, Bassoon, Bb Clarinet 1, Bb Clarinet 2, Bb Clarinet 3, Bb Bass Clarinet, Alto Saxophone 1/2, Tenor Saxophone, Baritone Saxophone, Bb Trumpet 1, Bb Trumpet 2, Bb Trumpet 3, F Horn 1/2, Trombone 1/2, Euphonium, Baritone T.C., Tuba, Timpani (). Grade 3. Score only. Duration 3:30. Published by C. Alan Publications (CN.18351). In his unique & haunting arrangement of Stephen Foster's immortal ballad 'Beautiful Dreamer,' David Gillingham infuses his own harmonic and rhythmic treatment, perfectly capturing the wonder of the lyrics, while still remaining true to the original tune.Extracted from David Gillingham's "Foster's America," a three-movement suite featuring four original songs by American composer, Stephen C. Foster (1826-1864), Beautiful Dreamer should be familiar to many. To capture the "dreamy" atmosphere, the movement begins with an introduction in E-flat minor with a flute and clarinet solo in dialogue using motives from the song accompanied by a texture of vibraphone, bells, and marimba to enhance the ambiance. E-flat minor succumbs to E-flat major as the song unfolds. However, there is a rhythmic twist to the presentation in that the melody employs three quarter notes followed by two dotted halves against a consistent pattern of eighths in 6/8 meter instead of the consistent eighth notes of the original version in 9/8 meter. The movement works its way to a climax of the tune in 3/4 meter and ends as dreamily as it began. Foster's original lyrics are as follows: Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me, Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee; Sounds of the rude world, heard in the day, Lull'd by the moonlight have all pass'd away! Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song, List while I woo thee with soft melody; Gone are the cares of life's busy throng, Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me! Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me! Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea Mermaids are chanting the wild lorelie; Over the streamlet vapors are borne, Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn. Beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart, E'en as the morn on the streamlet and sea; Then will all clouds of sorrow depart, Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me! Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
