Great exploartion of Biblical characters in film and broadway musicals. Find Away from Musical on Abraham particularly reminded me of Gethesanme from Jesus Christ Superstar as the parallel situation the binding of Isaac vs. impnding cruxification of Christ.

More Information About Exaltation! Biblical Stories through Music

Description

“The Bible is a source of inspiration and tradition for many of the world’s religions,” says Green, who has brought neglected as well as new and familiar orchestral works on Jewish themes to the concert stage. “Our program celebrates the commonality of the Bible’s timeless and heroic stories of love and betrayal, of prophets and people, of kings and shepherds and of good and evil, which serve to link different religions and cultures together.”  

The evening includes music from Franz Waxman and Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, two film composers among the elite group of European migrants that immeasurably enriched the cultural life of Los Angeles. On the program are Waxman's lushly romantic film score, The Story of Ruth, a stirring depiction of loyalty, romance, faith and devotion; and Castelnuovo-Tedesco's brilliant and seldom-played Violin Concerto #2, subtitled The Prophets, a musical portrait of Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Elijah, featuring Waarts. Additionally, Byram performs music from stage and screen ranging from Andrew Lloyd Weber's Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Steven Schwartz's Prince of Egypt to Jerry Bock's The Apple Tree and Alan Menken's King David. The Musical Saga. Byram was in the original cast of Masada The Musical Saga, which was presented in Israel for the 50th anniversary of the founding of the state.
