Once Upon a Tree

Written as a prequel to Pepper Choplin's best-selling Easter work Once Upon a Tree this new cantata follows closely the first two chapters of Luke. As the narrator Luke leads worshippers through the story as he writesand reflects on the power and significance of the events. From the struggle and unbelief of Zechariah to the innocent faith of Mary from the exuberance of the shepherds to the quiet joy of Simeon Luke reveals the real humanemotions of the story. Listeners are able to identify with the characters and experience the Christmas event in a deeply personal way. The music is dramatic and is enriched with the masterful orchestrations of Brant Adams. Whetherperformed simply with Luke as the narrator or with additional characters and full staging Once Upon a Night promises a profoundly moving Christmas memory for all.

One of the most potent phrases ever used to describe our Lord: “Guilty of Innocence.” This incredibly emotional anthem from the best-selling Easter cantata Once Upon a Tree is now available as an octavo.Vividly retelling the story of Christ's fateful destiny from Herod's attempt to kill him as a baby through a lifetime of accusation and condemnation to the trial before Pilate his only crime was being guilty of innocence.Truth threatens and love challenges. This powerful moving anthem will leave you breathless.

Orchestration-The musical is narrated by Luke as he writes of Jesus's last days on earth. Highly effective when presented by choir and narrator but naturally suited for full staging. It may be performed in its entirety or in segments atseveral services. The words and music of this new Pepper Choplin cantata are very dynamic and will immerse the audience in the passion and intensity of the major events of Holy Week. As the character of Luke is deeply touched bythe story he is recording the choir and soloists assume his role in the drama. Once Upon a Tree was written for Pepper's own church Greystone Baptist Church in Raleigh North Carolina. The choir rehearsed the musical asit was being written and played a special role as the work was formed and perfected. It will be a profoundly moving experience for choirs and congregations.

Par DE HAAN JACOB. Pacific Dreams describes the experience of Miguel, a traveling composer from Spain who, feeling somewhat alienated from his homeland, is wandering through an area of Sydney known as The Rocks. At a small outdoor market in a typical street of this oldcolonial neighbourhood, he discovers a print of William DeShazos painting 'Pacific Dreams' Portrayed in the painting is the surf of one of the exotic islands in the Pacific. Next, with the impressive Sydney Harbour Bridge looming over the narrowstreets of The Rocks, he envisions sultry Pacific beaches. Suddenly a theme he once composed about the lakes in Japan comes to him. Is it the Asian influences present in cosmopolitan Sydney that bring this theme to mind? Or perhaps the waters aroundSydney, over which he could sail to Tahiti? He is uncertain. Could this same theme be used to create a new composition about his feelings for the metropolis Sydney? How then to work his Pacific Dreams into the mix? Miguel is certainly no fan ofHawaiian music. Mayby he could use the vocabularies of islands like Hawaii and Tahiti, their beautiful vowel combinations being sung ad libitum by a mixed choir. With these ideas and his newly purchased print of 'Pacific Dreams', he boards the Metroat Circular Quay. He has a final glimpse of the harbour and the Sydney Opera House as the train races into the ground. On to the hotel! To work! He must compose!Maestoso : Miguel is impressed as he gazes upon the Sydney Harbour Bridge. And yet, hewants to go away from this city. Away, to an exotic island in the Pacific. Steady Rock : In the Rocks, musicians are playing at a square. Miguel basks in the atmosphere but at the same time he is fantasizing about Hawaii and Tahiti. Andante Lamentoso :In his hotel room, Miguel is feeling sad and lonely in this big city. He takes comfort in his 'Pacific Dreams'. Allegro : Miguel boards the boat that takes him from Darling Harbour to Circular Quay. In his mind he is traveling on to Hawaii. Or is ithome, where the bolero is playing? He is pulled back to reality by the skyline of Sydney. / Niveau : 3 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie
