The Cantoria Choir, led by Linda Prusha (Director) and accompanied by Pamela White (Organist) presented The Living Last Words©, a dramatic musical experience for Holy Week. This cantata was composed by Ruth Elaine Schram.
“Truly this Man was the Son of God!”
With these powerful words, the centurion responded to the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ. He had witnessed both the humanity and the divinity of Christ’s suffering, and he was transformed by Christ’s final utterances from the cross.
Inspired by the Seven Last Words of Christ, Ruth Elaine Schram imagines the responses of other witnesses at Calvary. She has created short, dramatic monologues for each: the contemptuous soldier; the crucified thief’s sympathetic sibling; the scornful priest; the anguished shepherd; the grieving mother of Christ; and the heartbroken disciple, searching for answers.
