Composer Torbjorn Dyrud's work presents the most famous story of Christian culture - Christ's passion, death and resurrection - in a form you have never heard before. The work is not a passion in the traditional sense; it does not end with Christ's death but continues through the kingdom of death and out of the grave, leaving US with the gospel of love that overcomes and endures everything, a gospel of grace and forgiveness. Life is the light of mankind; we can rise out of the darkness. Details 1. Prologue - in the Beginning 2. First Reading 3.
