Christ Arose arr. Mary McDonald, SATB with organ & piano (or organ only) and optional brass & percussion
This stunning anthem for SATB choirs and organ is the perfect way to open your Easter worship service. Opening with a fanfare-like instrumental flourish, the music moves steadily through three back-to-back verses before finally arriving at the popular chorus. The choir reiterates “Christ Arose!” as the anthem reaches its triumphant conclusion. In addition to the organ accompaniment, the octavo also features the option of adding piano to the organ, creating a lush duet accompaniment.
Resurrection Hymn (See What a Morning) arr. Steven Strite, SATB with piano and optional organ, brass quintet & percussion
This much-loved Getty/Townend modern hymn receives full festival treatment with fanfares, HYMN TO JOY “alleluias,” compelling modulations, imitative textures, and a soprano descant. It is a thrilling celebration for Easter Sunday!
Resurrection Canticle by Lloyd Larson, SATB with piano and optional chamber orchestra
Majestic and powerful, this Easter anthem of praise celebrates the worthy resurrection Lamb. Seamlessly incorporating the beloved hymn “Crown Him with Many Crowns” (with optional congregational involvement), this offering is easily prepared, yet highly effective. The optional chamber orchestration will make it shine!
