Praise to the Lord (Cantata)
“Praise to the Lord” is an hour-long cantata celebrating our Savior, Jesus Christ.
This program is voiced for SSAATTBB, soloists and piano, with optional scores included for organ, flute, oboe (or other treble C-instrument), and cello, and it’s somewhat challenging.
Most of the cello score includes only those passages where the cello needs to play a specific part. The cellist may follow the bass line in the organ score for other passages as desired.
There are five narrators for the program. Narrators 1 and 2 have most of the spoken parts. Narrator 2 sings solo sections in “Because He Spoke to Me” and “The Prodigal.” Narrator 3 is the mother of the child soloist in “A Place in His Arms.” Narrator 4 is a soloist with one spoken passage preceding “His Tears Were Mine.” Narrator 5 is a soloist with one spoken passage preceding “He is There.”

Hi Sally,
Love your gift of music and use it often! I am looking for sacred arrangements for flute and cello. Thanks much!
Hi Sally! Our stake is currently preparing this cantata for this upcoming Sunday. I have used your music so much since I became my ward’s choir director a couple of years ago. Your music arrangements are lovely, you are very talented, and your free sheet music is truly a fantastic gift. Thank you!
We are learning this in our Stake (Calgary, AB) for a cantata the last weekend of May and first weekend in June. It is beautiful. When we sang the “God Will Provide A Lamb” the first time, I couldn’t sing. I was trying to control the :'(. Thank you for sharing your talents.
Sheri.
Sally, your music is absolutely beautiful! You are so generous with your talents. Thank you, thank you!
