The soundtrack to Godspell has some amazing songs...By My Side is beautiful.

Where are you going?

Where are you going?

Can you take me with you?

For my hand is cold

And needs warmth

Where are you going?

Far beyond where the horizon lies

Where the horizon lies

And the land sinks into mellow blueness

Oh please, take me with you

The Finale is the actual part where Jesus is dying..it's sung in harmony with all the cast members.

Oh God, I'm bleeding

Oh God, I'm bleeding

Oh God, you're bleeding

Oh God, I'm dying

Oh God, I'm dying

Oh God, you're dying

Oh God, I'm dead

Oh God, I'm dead

Oh God, you're dead

Oh God, you're dead

Long live God, long live God

Long live God, long live God

Long live God, long live God

Prepare ye, the way of the Lord (Long live God, long live God)

Prepare ye, the way of the Lord (Long live God, long live God)

Prepare ye, the way of the Lord (Long live God, long live God)

The Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack should offer some suggestions as well.

But, my favorite rock song for the occasion has to be Pacific Gas & Electric's "Are You Ready?" It's like rock/gospel and the lyrics are perfect for the scene you describe. It's loud and raucus and cool. If you like I can e-mail you the song. It's hard to find.

Now, as for slow and soft...dip into the Classics. Something by Bach probably. One of his fugues. Or, one of the dirges by any number of composers like Grieg.

Ok...i know alot of you arent Christians. Thats ok. But, if you could think of one song to be played(slow, soft)at the Death of Jesus Christ....what would it be?

I have of course 40 days and 40 nights til we put on The Living Stations of the Cross. Anything would help guys.

Peace!

At the death of every hero, Albinoni's Adagio In G Minor is played.
