Beckenhorst Press
BP1648, SATB with children’s choir and opt. congreg., $2.95
 
Three beloved Easter hymns are joined in this celebratory and dramatic arrangement by Mark Hayes. The medley opens with “Low in the Grave He Lay” followed by “Christ the Lord is Risen Today,” during which the children’s chorus sings antiphonally with the full choir. The congregation then joins both choirs in an adaptation of Beethoven’s “Hymn to Joy” leading to a majestic finale. Straightforward partwriting, moderate ranges, and limited divisi make this anthem an excellent choice to involve everyone in celebrating Resurrection Sunday!
