Description:

The events celebrated during the Easter season are related through music in a myriad of ways. While we focus on the birth, life, ministry, death and triumphant resurrection of Jesus, one theme always comes to mind when we recall the story of Easter… grace! Were It Not For Grace, a powerful new Easter musical, focuses on this beautiful mystery and is crafted in the tradition of other Word Music best-sellers such as Mary, Did You Know? and Written in Red. Celebrating our Risen Lord's resurrection with a contemporary blend of stirring songs and well-loved hymns, many popular choral selections are tastefully combined to produce a work that is easily accessible to choir of all sizes.

The vocal parts utilize SATB writing in reasonable ranges with no divisi vocal parts and the musical's centerpiece is its gorgeous and lyrical title song, which may feature a male or female soloist. This celebratory musical chronicles the events of Easter with scripture-based narratives and is flexible enough to incorporate one or more narrators. With a performance time of forty minutes, Were It Not for Grace is appropriate as a stand-alone musical, or it could be presented within the framework of your Easter service.
