Based on the real life of George Müller and his Orphans. Set in Bristol Downs, England during the mid 1800s.

We meet George (Papa) Müller and Mary (Mama), his wife. We meet 7 orphans, 2 village gossips, the wicked landlord and kind, generous characters who bring Christmas to the Müller orphanage.

George Müller was often referred to as the great man of faith because he never fund raised, he believed and taught his orphans in the many orphanages he founded in Great Britain that God was faithful and would always provide. Miraculous provisions confirmed his teaching. This musical will not only bring the audience and performers into the Christmas spirit with the Old English setting, but will teach everyone about the great faithfulness of God to provide for all our needs.

Alleluia, Amen
Composed by: David Richard Corkill
In Loving Memory of Charles David Vasquez (June 13, 1968 - February 5th, 2022)
SATB Choir A Capella



The piece is Alleluia, Amen, an a cappella composition for SATB choir, imbued with a spirit of faithful energy and enthusiasm. From the outset, the choir's voices soar with a sense of exuberance, their collective energy filling the cathedral with an uplifting resonance. The sopranos lead the charge, their voices soaring like angelic heralds, while the altos provide a rich, grounding counterpoint. The tenors and basses add depth and dimension, their voices intertwining with the higher registers to create a tapestry of sound that is both powerful and intricate.

As the piece progresses, the choir's enthusiasm never wavers. Each phrase is delivered with a sense of conviction and devotion, their voices resonating with the joy of praising their faith. The harmonies are tight and precise, yet there is an underlying sense of spontaneity and passion that elevates the performance beyond mere technical perfection.

The piece culminates in a climactic crescendo, the choir's voices rising in a glorious proclamation of faith. The final Amen rings out with unwavering conviction, leaving a lingering sense of awe and inspiration in its wake. As the final notes fade, the audience is left with a renewed sense of hope and devotion, their spirits lifted by the choir's infectious energy and unwavering faith.

Lyrics:

Dharma Words at Yokawa by Genshin Shonin (942-1017)

It is a great joy for us sentient beings
to escape from the three evil realms
and be born as humans.

Even if our status in society is low,
could it be worse than the state of animals?
Even if we are born in a poor family,
we are in a far better condition than hungry spirits.

Even if our wishes are not fulfilled,
our suffering cannot be compared with the tortures of hell.
We should not sorrow over unhappiness in this life;
we should consider our lower social position
as an incentive to seek Enlightenment.
For this reason, we should rejoice
at having been born as humans.Even though the mind of faith is shallow,
anyone who takes refuge in Amida Buddha
will unfailingly attain birth, because the Original Vow is sdeep.

Even though the Nembutsu comes from a reluctant heart,
anyone who recites it never fails to see Amida
welcoming him to his Pure Land;
so great is the merit of the Nembutsu.
For this reason, we should rejoice
at having encountered the Original Vow.Delusion is the nature of ordinary beings.
Apart from delusion, there is no mind in us.

If we recite the Nembutsu while resigned to the fact
that we are to remain ordinary beings full of delusion until death,
we shall be received in welcome by Amida;
then, as soon as we mount the lotus seat,
our mind of delusion will be turned into that of Enlightenment.

The Nembutsu that is uttered with the mind of delusion
is like a lotus flower unstained by the muddy water.
There should not be any doubt as to our attainment of birth.We should not be concerned about our delusion,
but reflecting on the shallowness of our mind of faith,
continually recite the Name in earnest.

This 8-minute work for SATB chorus and piano is essentially a Buddhist 'Magnificat', the storyher of awakening of faith by the ancient queen Vaidehi, who takes refuge in the savior-Buddha Amida (a.k.a. Amitayus) as explained in the Buddhist Contemplation Sutra, the teaching of Shakyamuni Buddha. In the sutra, Shakyamuni shows her all the Buddha-lands and she selects, as her desired place of rebirth, the Land of Peace and Bliss, called Sukhavati or the Pure Land. She learns of being reborn in the Pure Land through reciting the Holy Name of Amida Buddha, pronounced Namu Amida Butsu. The Contemplation Sutra is one of three great ancient sutras about the salvation in the Pure Land of Amida Buddha.
