Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. (Jn. 15:13) In our world, love is a prominent theme. It is addressed in all forms of media, from music to movies; from TV to think tanks. We yearn for it. We need it. We value it on a personal level. It is something all of us have experienced in some fashion. Yet, we struggle to define it, to receive it, or to adequately convey it to the important people in our daily circles of life. Jesus brought a whole new dimension to the meaning of love. In a world where selfish love was the norm, Jesus modeled a selfless form of love. He whole-heartedly gave of Himself while anticipating nothing in return. What does that kind of love mean for us? Our feeble words may attempt to explain and describe it. But it is in our actions that we validate what selfless love truly is. Lloyd Larson's musical presentation of the love Jesus through his death, burial, and resurrection is written through the lens of John 15:13. With 7 songs of varying styles, this cantata presents the Easter story beginning through songs that lead us through the events of Holy Week to the triumphant resurrection! This 7 song musical is available in SATB and SAB versions and orchestrations, rehearsal resources, and accompaniment tracks are also available. Love one another as I have loved you. (Jn. 13:34) There is no greater love than this!
