Risen

Jesus Christ Is Risen Today is a Christian hymn. It was initially written in the 14th century as a Bohemian Latin hymn titled Surrexit Christus hodie. It is an Easter hymn referring to the Resurrection of Jesus."Risen" is setting created through inspiration of the joyous and energetic music from the Salvation Army, most particularly within the countless brass bands across the world. The piece begins in stately fashion with a typical acclamation of the theme in the cornets and trombones, before a high paced syncopated and driving account begins. The up-tempo feel remains right until the end, with a climatic ending full of fanfare, bells and joy.
