Covenant of Grace, a Cantata for Eastertide,
to be presented on Sunday, April 23, at 3:30 PM
Covenant of Grace, a compelling work that celebrates God’s faithfulness to his everlasting promises to his people will be performed at Reformation on Saturday, April 30, at 3:30 PM. The congregation is invited and encouraged to attend.
The 45-minute production will be performed by the Northern Cluster Choir under the direction of Donna J. Nilson. The choir has become known to us at Reformation for its rich emotional expression and the expressive dynamism of its sound. Many will find it a superb highlight to a holy season.
Covenant of Grace invites you to once again experience, through new anthems and familiar tunes, a dynamic choral cantata written by Joseph M. Martin. Martin’s music and its scriptural narrative take us from the promises to Abraham and David to their fulfillment in Christ Jesus through an expressive contemporary work.
The Cluster Choir, involving singers from as many as a dozen different congregations including Reformation Lutheran Church, has presented inspiring Christmas and Lent/Easter programs at Reformation beginning in the 2010 Christmas Season. We are pleased to welcome them back as they add their voices to our celebration of this Easter season.
Covenant of Grace features some loved folk tunes and traditional melodies. The cantata, with brilliant orchestrations arranged by Brant Adams for orchestra and choir, is played from a CD taking advantage of the fine acoustics of Reformation’s worship space for enjoying the strong harmonies provided by the choir and orchestra.
