Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1031389 Composed by Norm MacQueen. Arranged by Mark Mitchell. Broadway,Christian,Easter,Praise & Worship,Spiritual. Octavo. 9 pages. N. MacQueen #3213535. Published by N. MacQueen (A0.1031389). Golgotha is a choral song on an Easter theme. It is written in respectful emulation of the classic Afro-American Spiritual style, casting an appreciative glance toward the traditional Broadway stylings of Gershwin and Kern as well. It is intended as a mournful, soulful piece reflecting the intense emotions surrounding Christ's sufferings on the cross - not unlike Take My Mother Home or Jesus Walked That Lonesome Valley. In the hands of the right performers, capable of balancing reverence with showmanship, it has proven itself a very moving piece that audiences enjoy. It is suitable for performers of all ages. It would be appropriate for church services, Christian choral groups, as well as secular choirs open to exploring the synthesis between soulful music, heartfelt entertainment, and/or Easter.
