Golgotha Hill (King of Love) (arr. David Angerman)

David Crowder’s music is raw and authentic, creating powerful responses from his audiences. This arrangement maintains the folk song heaviness of the original and adds a choral component to inject a strong element of sacred theater into the performance. “He was led like a lamb to slaughter” is a vivid vision of the sacrificial Christ, and the writer’s use of phrases like “The Son went down on the killing floor” unflinchingly revisits this sacred symbol. When death surrenders to the living Christ, the piece yields to triumphant shouts of victory. Uncommon!
