Once Upon a Morning is a delightfully creative and vivid musical telling of some of the events that happened between Easter Sunday and the Resurrection of Jesus, through to his Ascension and on to the Day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit came with power to fill Jesus’ followers. It starts with the horror of Good Friday and the crucifixion of Jesus, moves quickly on to the women’s discovery of the empty tomb, and tells of the amazing times when the risen Jesus meets with his closest friends and followers.
From start to finish, Pepper Choplin’s creative spark shines through this unique, storybook-like work. With songs ranging from the rhythmically charged to smooth ballads, conversational passages between soloists to full choir anthems.
