HALLELUJAH CHORUS II (Spoken Word for Choir and Drum) will have its World Premiere on Easter Sunday 2017 at Reformation Lutheran Church in Westminster, CA. The church commissioned me to compose a spoken-word Easter piece, similar to the one I did for Christmas (WONDERFUL COUNSELOR, THE PRINCE OF PEACE-see below).
It's a 21st-century version of the classic "Hallelujah Chorus". The SATB choir will be joined by a djembe drum (played by yours truly) in this rhythmic, joyous piece.

WONDERFUL COUNSELOR, THE PRINCE OF PEACE--an SATB spoken-word piece based on Isaiah 9:6 (it can even be called rap!) A contemporary takeoff on "For unto us a Child is born" from the Messiah. See a video of Dr. Stephanie's students performing it here.
The world premiere will be Sunday, December 18th (9:00 a.m. service) at Reformation Lutheran Church, Westminster, CA, as part of a cantata entitled THE BIRTH OF CHRIST: PROPHETIC PRONOUNCEMENTS AND ANGELIC ANNOUNCEMENTS.
From Reformation Lutheran~
Written and directed by Dr. Stephanie Hutchinson, "The Birth of Christ: Prophetic Pronouncements and Angelic Announcements” is a four-part cantata featuring a spoken word choral piece, WONDERFUL COUNSELOR, THE PRINCE OF PEACE (think "Hamilton"), a script entitled "The Annunciation", featuring different languages spoken in the congregation, a piano solo, and an original choral composition, WHILE TENDING SHEEP THAT COLD, CLEAR NIGHT.
