We all have different preferences when it comes to music, and many factors influence those preferences. The music we grew up listening to on the radio, that catchy tune we find ourselves humming in the middle of the day, the songs we sing in church, the music that touches our hearts––all of these things shape our musical tastes.
Some folks love the hymns with lush choral arrangements while others prefer contemporary praise & worship with a modern feel. Both have their place––and blending traditional and contemporary together can help us reach an even wider audience.
The following musicals offer some excellent blended options to lead your congregation in worship while delivering the life-changing message of Christ's redeeming love and His triumphant resurrection. Take a few minutes to sample and explore these blended Easter musicals with a timeless Easter message!
