An ancient and profound text is wed to this joyful tune and features a rhythmically propelling piano introduction which leads into the unison statement of verse one by choir and optional congregation. The keyboard interludes, featured between each of the verses, add to the escalating excitement of the Resurrection! To continue the rhythmic movement, the choral verses utilize moving tones in each part. A final modulation leads to the majestic, forte statement with a soaring soprano descant. A brief choral Alleluia completes this perfect anthem for Easter day.
