Uses: Easter vigil Easter SunriseScripture: John 10:13; Mark 12:10This unique composition is an Easter vigil masterpiece. The listener is taken to the garden along with Mary as she begins her searchfor the crucified Christ. The light of resurrection will soon replace the sadness of the three days of darkness and yet this final moment of reflection is an important prelude to the alleluias of Easter. Unaccompanied voices addto the drama.

Uses: EasterScripture: John 20:1-8; I Corinthians 15:4A rousing opener for Easter celebrations this festive anthem captures a robust “Americana” feel both in its melodic content and itsjoyful abandon. A rhythmically vital approach punctuates the main theme while contrasting solo passages provide an oasis of expressivity as it unfolds the story of Christ's crucifixion and victory over the grave. Brief yetpowerful this delightful offering will be a surprising change of pace for church choirs. Duration: ca. 2:56.

A new classic this eighth century Easter text has been set in a neo-Baroque style by Dana Mengel. This light and bouncy resurrection anthem uses lots of imitation between voices to add interest and is sung a cappella calling tomind the sacred music of old. But “Sing an Alleluia!” isn't just for Easter. Optional text is provided for Christmas and for general use making it an extremely versatile anthem. “Sing an Alleluia!” is awonderful return to a time in music history long passed.

This vigorous vocal fugue sung a cappella would make a dynamic worship opener for Easter. Written in classical style the opening vocal lines imitate a trumpet fanfare. Descriptive text and evolving layers of color and texturemake this fresh resurrection anthem a true delight.

Kantate Zum Ersten Ostertag. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. The words are based on the Easter Gospel, the account of the Resurrection of Jesus, which is first joyfully celebrated. Then follows a call to the faithful: every Christian must make the Resurrection a reason to renew himself spiritually, so as to complete a kind of inner Resurrection himself. For his scoring – which changed slightly from performance to performance – Bach called upon a five-part choir, three trumpets and timpani, three oboes, taille and bassoon, strings and basso continuo./ Répertoire / Solistes STB, Choeur SSATB, Hautbois (2 Hautbois,
