Using the definitive Easter text by Christopher Wordsworth, which begins with the proclamation "Alleluia, Christ is risen,"  this is a perfect choral selection to begin your Easter Day service!  It is short enough in length to serve as a choral introit or call to worship.  It combines choir and organ with options to include 3-5 octaves of handbells and 2 trumpets.  A festive start to a most celebrated day of resurrection!
