An Easter Operetta for Five Solo Voices

Set in Jerusalem in the days immediately following the crucifixion of Jesus, Dawn’s New Light captures a time of profound faith and deep doubt…of love and anger…of strength and despair. For the followers of Christ, it is also a time of extraordinary closeness, heightened by fear and uncertainty - until the dawn of the third day brings renewed hope, overwhelming joy, and glorious celebration.
This moving operetta for five solo voices and piano accompaniment (with optional chamber orchestra or accompaniment track) offers churches a distinctive and compelling choice for Easter worship or concert presentation. Flexible in its presentation, the work may be performed as a non-memorized concert piece or as a fully staged, memorized production. It is also ideally suited for college and university vocal ensembles.
The Listening Recording features acclaimed artists Cynthia Clawson and Ken Medema. The score is provided in a 100% reproducible format, offering exceptional value for churches and ensembles working within a budget.
Approximate Performance Time: 25 minutes
Chamber Orchestra Instrumentation: Flute; Oboe; Clarinet; French Horn; Cello; Percussion.
