James MacMillan: St Luke Passion: SATB: Vocal ScoreFormat : Vocal Score The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke-Scored for chorus children's choir organ and chamber orchestra St Luke Passion adopts a pared-back focus on choral voices over its 75-minute span. Seeking a more spiritual inward approach to match Luke s text the composer eschews settings of interpolated texts as arias and the customary Evangelist and Christ soli: everything is sung by choral forces. A children's choir grants a measure of innocence to Christ as the sacrificial lamb emphasising aspects of otherness sanctity and mystery. The Passion narrative is framed by a Prelude exploring the Annunciation and a Postlude taking us beyond the Crucifixion to the Resurrection and Ascension. These incorporate Gospel textswhere Luke explains the Kingdom of God.
