About this arrangement

Chamber Orchestra, Children's Choir, Choral, Organ Accompaniment (Study Score) SKU: HL.48024549 SATB, Children's Choir, Organ, and Chamber Orchestra. Composed by James Macmillan. Boosey & Hawkes Scores/Books. Classical. Softcover. 236 pages. Boosey & Hawkes #M060134487. Published by Boosey & Hawkes (HL.48024549). ISBN 9781784543808. UPC: 888680916671. 8.25x11.5 inches.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 texts where Luke explains the Kingdom of God.
