Composed by Pepper Choplin
Arranged by Brant Adams and Stan Pethel
Inspired by the spiritual "Were You There," this musical experience is based on several monologues by those who were at the cross. The work leads us through many emotions: from the Holy Love shown to Mary Magdalene, to the intimacy of Mother Mary's "Still My Son," to the regret of Peter in "It Should Have Been Me." The musical can be of almost any length since each momologue and anthem may be used independently. However "We Were There" is used, it will provide a powerful Holy Week resource for years to come. Maximum length if all pieces are used: 53 minutes.
