General Information

Performance & Rehearsal Schedule

Resources for Rehearsal

  • Joseph M. Martin's "Testimony of Life" is a worship cantata for Spring, inspired by the celebrated "lessons and carols" services most often associated with the Christmas season. 
  • This liturgical framework forms an excellent scaffold for the sharing of Scripture, prayers, narrations, choral anthems, and congregational hymnody.
