Easter Anthems
for the Adult Choir
Acclamation for Easter—Jon Paige. With
an elegant, classical lilt, the jubilant main
theme of this anthem begins in unison voices
and splits into parts with acclamations of
"Alleluia." Overall this piece is very accessible
and will challenge but not overexert your
singers. Don't miss a chance to share this
joyful Easter original.

Alleluia, Christ Is Alive!—Joel Raney. From
the opening notes, the tone is set in the garden
as Mary is searching for Jesus. Learning that
"He is risen and the tomb is empty," the
music swells forward with dynamic energy,
compelling rhythmic energy and fanfare-like
choral parts. The addition of the optional piano,
brass and percussion parts further heightens
this triumphant Easter Day exaltation.

HL Alleluia, He Lives!—Joel Raney. For Easter
Day, this spirited anthem by Joel Raney

exclamation that the risen King lives! An
appearance of Beethoven's Hymn to Joy in the
middle section adds to the joyous effectiveness
of this dynamic setting. Now available in an

Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise the Lord! Ye
Heavens Adore Him—Rowland H. Prichard/
arr. Mary McDonald. This flexible hymn setting
of
HYFRYDOL opens with a fanfare utilizing all
instrumental forces. With two options of text,
the choir and optional congregation sing
standard harmonization for the first verse,
the choir sings two-part on verse 2, and the
final verse is melody with a soprano descant.
Majestic instrumental interludes increase the
anticipation of the finale. The piece is not
difficult chorally but sounds brilliant with the
involved keyboard parts and addition of two
trumpets, two trombones, and timpani.

Donald Fishel/arr. Joel Raney. This joyous
anthem sings the good news of the risen Lord,
making it fitting throughout Eastertide. With

interspersed with verses that proclaim the new
life that was given through the risen Christ.

modern Easter hymn!

The Angel Rolled the Stone Away—Larry
Shackley. Two traditional American spirituals
are blended into one lively Easter medley
in this bright and exuberant selection. This
anthem celebrates the Resurrection of Christ
and reminds believers of His expected return.
Mostly homophonic, there is some trading
of the melody between voice parts, and a
sturdy piano accompaniment provides a solid
foundation for the singers.

Anthem of Joy—Henry Purcell/arr. Patrick
M. Liebergen. This lesser-known Purcell
masterwork is a joyful offering in an exuberant
classical style. Both Palm Sunday and Easter
texts are included for optimal flexibility. A good

trumpet obbligato adding a festive touch.

This Is a Day for Rising
Joseph M. Martin.
For Eastertide, this anthem of praise calls for renewal, restoration,
and revival. Framed as a call to worship, the verses conclude
with a distinctive mixed-meter pattern that overflows with joyful
confidence. After a contrasting development section, the main
hymn-like theme returns with a descant for a glorious conclusion!

Aptly expressing the fresh wonder of each new day, this
beautiful anthem expresses the text of Psalm 118 with a
gentleness and surety of belief. The accompaniment provides a
flowing independent voice that helps to support and buoy the
choral lines along the way. A lovely way to celebrate the Lord's
day and every day!
