The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ According to John (Choral Edition)

Walker brings to life St. John's Passion with this innovative setting. It is powerful, tender and haunting, evoking all the pathos and drama of Jesus' suffering and death. Arranged with narrative parts for Jesus, narrator, Pilate, Peter, a maid, a slave and a temple guard_x0014_ accompanied by organ and SATB choir_x0014_ Walker's Passion also involves the assembly, which sings easily memorized refrains that reflect on key moments in the Passion. The part of Jesus (included in the full score) can be learned quickly by a priest or deacon. This setting would be very accessible to a good parish choir.
