This hour-long (approximately) cantata tells of Christ's ministry, the triumphal entry into Jerusalem, the last supper, His agony in Gethsemane and subsequent crucifixion, and His resurrection from the dead.
The entire cantata could be performed using just the SATB/piano score, but the contributions of the organ, flutes and violins would definitely be missed. The conductor's score is a long, cumbersome thing--you probably won't want to conduct from it.
In 2008 I revised this cantata. I did so because as I read over the narration, I had several of those blush-worthy "what-was-I-thinking?-I'm-so-glad-this-isn't-being-graded-by-an-English-professor" moments, and because a few score revisions made the entire program easier for the choir. I know that some of you (I'm married to one) don't like change, but if you're thinking of trying to wheedle the original scores out of me, don't bother--you'll find me very uncooperative.
My recommendation for presenting this cantata is to use a couple of flutes and three or more violins. (I know, I know... just pull them out of a hat or something?) In conjunction with the organ, it provides a full, orchestra-like sound with just a few instruments.
A few of the songs from the cantata have audio demos available. They are listed below. These will give you a general idea of how the songs sound, but the interpretations may differ a bit from the printed scores:
