Angels' Song in The Judgment
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctbR0KpOo0g
All of these songs were listed as being sung during the different plays. While there are no original scores to these songs that I could find I feel that these are great jumping off points of how the songs may sound for the feel we are going for. Even if the music is not used during the play for feel of it not needing to be there it can be used for preshow music. In the version of the script I found the stage directions are say things along the lines of, "Here He goes to the Seat of Judgment, with the singing of angels" (Cawley, p198). This is talking about Jesus going and sitting with angels singing around him. Now this can be used during the play if needed. It can also be done in two ways. Either having the actual people on stage singing or by using recordings such as these for the music. It would be done the same way in the plays that call for it.
On top of this there is also a need for preshow music. The preshow music will fit in with this music. Mostly it should just be instrumental with a possibility of some voices singing lightly.
