Passion Music - Vocal score

Oxford University Press
Category: Female gospel soloist, SATB & jazz ensemble

Orchestration: piano, bass, drum kit, sax (sop/alto - 1 player), trumpet, trombone, timpani/percussion

• 40-minute work, highlighting different points in the Passion story
• Continues the fusion of jazz and choral music so successfully blended in Todd's Mass in Blue
• Plenty of expressive freedom for the female gospel soloist, who sings both with the choir and independently
• Seven-part jazz accompaniment, presented as a piano reduction (for rehearsal only) in the vocal score

Songs:
Greater love has no man
I give you a new commandment
There is a green hill far away
My song is love unknown
Stabat Mater
Seven last words
My love has died for me
Do not stand at my grave and weep
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
