Moses Facing Jordan

Klappentext

At the end of his long life, Moses has finally reached the Promised Land. Across the Jordan River he can see it. God tells him that he may not cross the river, that it is time to be collected to his people, that this is the end of the journey for him. He reflects back on his life, the exodus, the plagues, the call, the successes, the laws, the troubles; he remembers how it was said that Pharoah's daughter pulled him from the waters and that his name was given thus.

Moses Facing Jordan is an oratorio telling the story at that moment: Moses looks at the river, views his life in retrospect, listens to God, and prepares for his personal end.

Musical score with piano reduction and chorus and solo vocal lines.
