The Rose Of Calvary

The Rose of Calvary. (Orchestration) ** By Joseph M. Martin. For Orchestra (Score & Parts). Shawnee Press. Shawnee Press #LB5763. Published by Shawnee Press.

The Rose of Calvary is the greatly anticipated sequel to the best-selling cantata, The Winter Rose. Using the same beautiful imagery, the work tells the story of Jesuss ministry, passion, death on the cross and his triumphant resurrection. This creative work has nine new anthems and contains opportunities for soloists and narrators. Written to function as either a work for Holy Week or with the optional ending as a joyful celebration of the resurrection, this musical offers maximum flexibility to the director. Brant Adams reprises his role as orchestrator, and Pamela Martin once again provides thoughtful and meaningful narration. Spectacular!
