The Shadows of Grossmunster is a dramatic musical retelling of the story of early Anabaptism.

"The power of this dramatic work comes through the emphasis on faithfulness, especially as expressed in the songs. Although the Anabaptists are scattered, and some are martyred, the musical ends with a powerful song of hope." -- Barb Draper, Canadian Mennonite
