2010 Easter Cantata

It seems like only yesterday we were singing last year's Easter Cantata, AMEN. It was a fairly simple arrangement of songs based on 2 parts. After much careful consideration and prayer, an Easter Cantata has been chosen for this year. I placed an order for the books and listening CD today with Brentwood Music. The Cantata that has been chosen is called, "The Old Rugged Cross Made the Difference." The songs in it are:

1. Opening Medley (There's Room at the Cross / Love Divine / Christ the Lord Is Risen Today)
2. Always the Cross
3. The Old Rugged Cross Made The Difference
4. There's Room At The Cross
5. Crown Him! Medley (Crown Him With Many Crowns, Grace Greater Than Our Sin, Amazing Grace)

The title song, The Old Rugged Cross Made the Difference, is a song that our ladies trio already sings, so I plan to ask them if they will sing that selection by themselves.

This is another easy arrangement written for 2-parts. I don't think we will have any problems with it. I'm really excited about getting busy learning this cantata. We only have 12 Sundays available between now and Easter so we've got to get on it.
