The 40 Days Project

"Forty days" is a time period which occurs frequently in the Old and New Testaments, and is also the length of time during which Christians observe the season of Lent. As a concept, I am exploring a musical adaptation of the various biblical references to "forty days." The first was a Christian rock opera (written in 2001) entitled "40 Days: Resurrection to Ascension" telling the story of Christ's time on Earth following his resurrection on Easter Sunday.
