Accla imed arranger Craig Curry has transformed this popular praise and worship song into a terrific choral anthem for worship. The thoughtful text invites believers to visit the cross once again to reflect upon Christ’s wondrous love for humanity. Opening with an optional solo verse, the choral texture gradually thickens by verse until the rich and full choral acclamation on the final refrain. A gentle contemporary pop groove in the accompaniment supports the regular syncopation in the vocals and provides a solid foundation for soloist and full choir alike.

Kathi e Hill has done Christmas forward, and now, backwards! Instead of ending with the nativity, Christmas in Reverse starts at the manger, then rewinds to explain the significance of the events leading to the first Christmas. Teaming with co-writer Melody Morris (Fish Tales, Promise U, Christmas SOCCER Team) Kathie provides a wealth of musical settings and simple narrations for this meaty musical. And long before the nativity characters return to the manger, you will be touched (for the first or umpteenth time) by the significance of Jesus' birth. So if you think you've chosen your children's musical for this year, it's time to rewind and take a look at Christmas in Reverse. Ages: 2nd - 8th grades Speaking Parts: minimum 5 children / 3 - 4 Adults or children.

With arching gestures of melodic charm, this octavo presents one of sacred literature's most compelling texts. The piece uses an optional soprano solo with vocal parts providing an orchestra-like tapestry of sound to undergird the expressive main theme. Later the anthem takes on a dramatic turn as jubilant hosannas turn to rabble cries of crucify! before retuning to its lofty theme. A stunning and dramatic choice for Good Friday.
