Joseph Haydn's oratorio Die sieben letzten Worte unseres Erlosers am Kreuze is probably one of the most frequently performed settings of music for Good Friday. Haydn set these Seven Words in a dramatic, extremely gripping emotional style which is utterly compelling. Originally the work was conceived as a purely instrumental composition - as meditative music in seven slow movements with an introduction and concluding movement (Il Terremoto - the earthquake) for a Passiontide church service. From the outset, Haydn had composed the themes of the movements with a vocal spirit in mind, so when he heard a vocal arrangement of his work in 1794 in Passau with a German singing text - an obvious idea - it inspired him to write his own vocal version. The first performance took place in 1796 in Vienna. With the flourishing of choral societies in the 19th century, this vocal version of the Seven Words became one of the most frequently-performed Passion music settings of all. The critical Urtext edition of the work now published offers a revised musical text reflecting current scholarly standards.

Composed by Chuck Elledge. Standard of Excellence in Concert. Score and set of parts. Neil A. Kjos Music Company #WB214. Published by Neil A. Kjos Music Company (KJ.WB214).

Spirited of the Land, the first of this four movement programmatic work, is inspired by the 1914 painting by Charles Russell, When the Land Belonged to God, and the composer's travel in the west. A Frontier Lawman, vividly depicts the swagger and demeanor of legendary lawman, Nathaniel Kimball Boswell. Cowboy Meditation, the third movement of West!, captures the spirit of the solitary life of the cowboy on the plains - his thoughts and the calls of the wild surrounding him. Railtown Jubilee, brings West! to a close representing the dramatic impact the railroad had on the West. Use this as an opportunity for making interdisciplinary connections.
