I know that I have posted ideas like this before and know that the group probably won't ever do something like this, but I thought that it would still be fun for me at least to come up with ideas for how they could do a group of songs like this if they wanted to. I'm going to make Tara sing, play the harp, and play the fiddle at different points based on what I think would be best. Here's my idea:

Act 1 (red dresses)

Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silent (All members, Tara on fiddle)
A Mighty Fortress is Our God (Mairead)
The King of Glory (Susan and Eabha)
Alleluia Song of Gladness (Mairead, Susan, and Eabha)
Glory be to Jesus (Tara on fiddle)
In Silent Pain the Eternal Son (Susan with piano accompaniment in some parts)
My Song is Love Unknown (Tara singing and on harp)
Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted (All members, Tara singing, with piano accompaniment)
Christ the Life of All the Living (Mairead)
When I Survey the Wondrous Cross (Eabha with piano accompaniment)
Not All the Blood of Beasts (Tara on fiddle)
Jesus Grant that Balm and Healing (All members, Tara singing, a capella)
How Great Thou Art (All members, Tara on fiddle)

Act 2 (dark color dresses such as black and purple)

Let My Prayer Rise Before You as Incense (All members, Tara on fiddle)
The Day that Heaven Cried with Darkest Woe introduction (introduction done by Tara on fiddle, piano accompaniment on main song, Susan, Mairead, and Eabha do the singing on the main song)
Via Dolorosa (Susan with piano accompaniment)
Lamb of God Pure and Holy (Eabha, a capella first verse, piano accompaniment second verse, Antos choir joins on third verse)
Above All (with piano accompaniment, starts with just Mairead then becomes duet with her and Susan)
The Lamb with last verse not sung (all members, Tara on fiddle with her doing the last verse on just the fiddle)
Where You There When They Crucified My Lord? (Tara on fiddle)
Ride on Ride on in Majesty (Mairead)
When You Woke that Thursday Morning (Susan, piano accompaniment with all verses)
Jesus in Thy Dying Woes (all members, Tara singing)
O Come O Come Emmanuel (Lenten version with mostly new lyrics, all members, Tara signing at first then on the fiddle for a lead-in to the next song)
Thy Strong Word (originally just Tara on fiddle, then drums are added, then the Antos choir sings by themselves, during this time, the women change into white dresses)
Easter Medley with guest bell choir (has a combination four different Easter songs with each member signing each one)
Now All the Vault of Heaven Resounds (all members, Tara singing)
Thine the Amen, Thine the Praise (all members, Tara on fiddle)

What do people think of this idea?

This is splendid & THANK YOU FOR SHARING this worthy idea!
I sing in my parish church for an adult evening band. I have sung in bigger traditional choirs also!
It is now Lent & we have great songs that you could imagine implemented in CW style!
I wonder mind asking is the King of Glory is it This is Amazing Grace or not.. just by the lyrics it resonates me to that song.  Smiley
You Are Creative just Like Many of Us!
