Christ the Lord Is Risen Today

A hymn arrangement on Easter Hymn for congregation, brass quintet, and organ, with optional soprano descant and timpani. The overall approach is sonorous and lyrical, although fanfare-like passages occur in the interlude before verse three and in the final, fourth stanza (which has the soprano descant.) A useful setting that, while festive and stirring, is not excessively showy or distracting.
