Martin, Joseph M.: In the Praetorium
from The Rose of Calvary
vocal/choral score
Scripture: Mark 15:1-5, John 18:28-38
One of the most dramatic pieces you will ever encounter is found in this scene from the passion of Christ before Pilate. From the powerful martialopening theme depicting the Roman inquisition to the fugue that displays the violence and cacophony of the mob's cries, this anthem is unrelenting in its impact. A difficult moment to translate into music but an important momentto experience because it reminds of the price of grace!
