A quintessential Easter anthem, the prized tune LANCASHIRE is the foundation for this festive resurrection declaration. The silent alleluias of Lent and Holy Week are unleashed with joyful abandon by this inspiring text as strong unison singing announces the theme. A congregational option allows for flexible performance possibilities, but the octavo works equally well for choir alone. Consider adding brass and handbells for a truly epic impact! Score and Parts (tpt 1-2, tbn 1-2, timp) available as a digital download. Part for Handbells (3 oct.) also available as a digital download.

From the opening bell tones in the piano, this anthem awakens the worshipping church to praise.

The folklike character in the substance of the music is displayed in the melodic contours and rustic harmonic vocabulary. This is the day for singing and for sending alleluias soaring!
