For choirs

These works are available to choirs wishing to put on a performance at key moments of the church calendar. (In French)
Here is pack allowing churches to carry out their project – in French only !

The tools below help choirs to prepare:

choral scores
voice by voice rehearsal mp3s
instrumental tracks
instrumental scores for those choirs that want the challenge of a live accompaniment rather than a track Contact us

These works have already been produced by a large number of ‘amateur’ choirs in the French-speaking world (France, Belgium, Switzerland, Quebec, the West Indies, and various francophone African countries) with great success, according to participants, audiences and journalists. So it’s a realistic and achievable project aimed at a wider public which has proved to be a source of unity for inter-church projects. The prices of scores in the ‘shop’ are for individual orders. For a choral project choir leaders should contact us

Chemin de Pâques in concert

In addition to the ‘choral’ format, Chemin de Pâques is available as a performance with a group of soloists. John performs with four singers to bring Easter week to life in the space of an hour and a half.

Solidly built on the biblical narrative, this contemporary cantata can also be conceived in the place of a service, to celebrate Easter in a different way

Entre la lumière and other collaborations

The cantatas ‘Voici Noël’ and ‘Chemin de Pâques’ have been the subject of several collaborations, with Springs Dance Company, and with the territorial band of the Salvation Army, under the direction of Arielle Mangeard.

‘Entre la Lumière’ is an adaptation of ‘Vie sur Terre’ and ‘Chemin de Pâques’, covering the entire adult life of Christ.
