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.

For SATB choir, piano (with optional orchestration). Cantatas. Holy Week, Eastertide, Sacred. Choral score and performance CD. Published by Lorenz Publishing Company (LO.55-1153L). "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.
