In Him We Live (Cantata)

"In Him We Live" is like a missionary discussion set to music. It tells of Christ's central role in the plan of salvation; His life, death and resurrection; and what these things mean to us. The program lasts about 65-70 minutes.

The program is voiced for full choir (all the parts split at some point), accompanied by piano, organ (required) and two flutes (also required). There are solo parts for one or more soprano; one or more tenor/high baritone; and one child (optional).

Please note that none of the instruments in this program is optional.
