Composer Rob Gardner has never been less than ambitious in telling the story of the Restoration and the Gospels in music. With “Lamb of God,” he fulfills a lifelong dream in focusing on the week of the Atonement and the many individuals from the Apostles to Pilate to the mother of Christ—those who interacted with Jesus personally and lived the despair and new-found hope of that most important week.
In this audio interview Rob talks about the writing process, recording with the London Symphony, and the thousand choices a composer makes in writing a sacred work, including deciding whether you’re ready to tackle the most important subject that ever lived.
That’s this week on The Cricket and Seagull.
