“It’s Easter and Jesus has risen! All that the cross was supposed to accomplish has been completed, and we can rejoice as children of the resurrection; as believers who have been given purpose and power in knowing the living, risen Christ!”

Joel Lindsey’s new song, “Let All the World Sing”, opens the curtain on this triumphant new musical for Easter, THE TOMB IS EMPTY NOW. Crafted by the unparalleled creative team of multiple Dove-Award winning songwriter Joel Lindsey and celebrated arranger Cliff Duren, THE TOMB IS EMPTY NOW portrays the Passion of the Christ through a stunning array of celebratory and thought-provoking songs, songs of deeply-felt pain and sorrow, and songs of great rejoicing.

The love Jesus displayed on the cross and the death He died there isn’t the end of the story! Somewhere in the night the LAMB of the cross became the LORD of an EMPTY TOMB! And now, centuries later, we live because He lives! Every prodigal child has a home, every disease-ridden saint has the hope of healing, every lonely outcast can find redemption… because Jesus died and was laid in a tomb, and that tomb… is EMPTY NOW!

HALL OF GHOSTS was composed in 2020 during the Covid-19 lockdown period; it was inspired by piccoloist Gudrun Hinze’s video for Harberg’s Prayer Project filmed in the hauntingly empty Gewandhaus Chamber Music Hall. Evocative of imagined spirits in the empty hall, the music pitsdramatic silences, amid searching and plaintive phrases of the piccolo, against a lively middle section – a dialogue between the ticking of time and an instrument striving to make itself heard.

HALL OF GHOSTS was composed in 2020 during the Covidlockdown period. Evocative of imagined spirits in an empty concert hall, the music pits dramatic silences, amid searching and plaintive phrases of the clarinet, against a lively middle section — a dialogue between the ticking of time and an instrument striving to make itself heard.

A colorful book from the mind and hand of the great master jazz pianist. It's a kick to make something out of nothing. It seems most people like to do this. The lady of the house takes a look at an empty kitchen table and envisions a table setting including flowers and napkins with a particular design. Or an architect sees an empty lot and envisions a new apartment building in that space complete with interior and exterior colors and materials. Or anybody, including myself, takes a look at a blank piece of paper and starts drawing shapes on it......There's another very human tendency - and that's to want to attach meaning and significance to things in life - to a song, to an event, to something viewed - literally to anything. It's usually an automatic thing. Everything needs to mean something. This tendency to attach meaning is also a kind of creativity, I suppose. But I find that, unless there is also a sufficient amount of creation without meaning or purpose then the motions and emotions of living can become bogged down with too much weighty significance. - Chick Corea (Excerpted from the foreward to Creativity & Doodling) Book size: 6x6 36 pages Published by: Chick Corea Productions.
