Celebrate the triumph of the risen Christ with Victor's Crown, the new Easter musical created by songwriter Dave Clark. Superb narration brings new life to the familiar story of Easter, and with stirring arrangements and orchestrations by Phil Nitz, your choir and congregation will experience afresh the deepest sorrow and the highest celebration. As Nitz explains, This project, featuring some favorites of recent years and some brand new material, beautifully tells the greatest story ever told - that Christ has defeated sin and we are free in Him. He wears the Victor's crown!"
Unforgettable, soaring melodies, pleasing harmonies, accessible vocal charts, and only one solo make this 5-song musical perfect for any skill level. And with a running length of only 26-minutes, it fits comfortably into any Easter service or concert, as well as stand-alone songs in any worship service. As a bonus, while narrative threads beautifully tie the songs together, each is arranged to confidently stand alone in any worship service to be enjoyed again and again.
