This voluntary is based on what is arguably the most famous of Easter hymns in the Western Christian Church – Jesus Christ is Risen Today. Taken from a collection of various hymns and tunes entitled Lyra Davidica (1708), the Easter Hymn is used as the springboard for a rhapsodic opening and development before a full and ravishing harmonization of the entire hymn. The conclusion, an extension of the tune itself, calls for a volcanic organ registration, sure to elicit an eruptive outcry appropriate to the day itself! .
