Back in 2010 I composed a Passion Cantata based upon the Gospel of
Mark. I have uploaded a copy of the score and a sampler sound clip for
anyone interested in performing it. The excerpts from the sampler are
Surely Not I; In Three Days; The Arrest - Release Barabbas; Simon; The
Burial.
The entire cantata is fairly easy for the average four
part choir and there are a multitude of solo and quartet
opportunities. Each section is short and is repeated two or three
other times within the work making the entire cantata easy to learn in a
short period of time. It took my choir four weeks.

To
hear the sample, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on
"Interpretation." The other mp3 sample is a computer generated
facsimile of the score. I began and ended my concert with two
congregational hymns: Crown Him With Many Crowns and Lift High The
Cross.
When I performed this piece, it was for a choir concert.
I don't see many acting opportunities with the work other than in
tableau form. Although, it would make a unique operetta.
