Orchestra Version (2018) – Music and Recordings

One Fold, One Shepherd is a sacred work for choir, soloists, and chamber instruments, orchestrated by CJ Madsen in 2018 with text taken from the Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ. This work was originally written in German and performed in Austria on a Brigham Young University (BYU) study abroad in music. The work was then translated into English, by which it is known better now. The English version is now available as a professional recording (see below) featuring professional soloists, Utah Symphony players, and A Voice for Good choir.

Similar in style to Rob Gardner’s Lamb of God and Handel’s Messiah, the text comes from 3 Nephi in the Book of Mormon and chronicles Mormon’s keeping of the Book of Mormon record, the birth of the Savior among the Nephites, their deliverance from the Gadianton robbers, and the Savior’s subsequent appearance and ministry among them. CJ’s beautiful music combines with the sacred words of the scriptures to bring to life a story of deliverance, faith, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
