EASTER ANTHEMS
The Strife Is O'er—arr. Robert J. Powell. A
bright concertato setting of the powerful Easter
hymn tune
VICTORY. The piece begins with a
dialog between the brass and the choir, then
immediately involves the congregation. The
congregation sings in unison while the choir
augments the singing with parts. A choir-only
verse that may be sung a cappella, then the final
stanza with congregation plus descant serve as
the conclusion to this very useful setting.

expressing the fresh wonder of each new
day, this beautiful anthem expresses the text
of Psalm 118 with a gentleness and surety of

This Joyful Eastertide—Jeffrey Smith. This
choral fantasy uses the hymn tune
VRUECHTEN
as its underpinning but riffs on the tune by
altering the phrasing, cadences, and even
takes an excursion into the relative minor.
Divisi parts form two separate choirs for an a
cappella verse; otherwise, an energetic organ
accompaniment keeps everything on track.
The result is an exuberant Easter anthem with
just the right balance of the familiar and the
fresh. Also available in the original Dutch.

To the Lamb on the Throne—Dan Forrest.
"Worthy the Lamb!" These three words of
praise are masterfully woven throughout
this new setting of Charles Wesley's text
Ye Servants of God. In To the Lamb on
the Throne, composer Dan Forrest takes
a traditional hymn text and elevates it to an
astonishing, worshipful offering for the King
of Kings! Scored for SATB choir, organ, and
optional brass quintet and timpani, there's
also an opportunity for the congregation to join
on the final verse. You'll want to return to this
anthem time and again. Superb!

Name and Crown Him with Many Crowns,
paired with the hymn tunes
KINGSFOLD and
LEONI. Scored for SATB voices and a robust
piano accompaniment, it is nicely sectionalized
via shifting vocal textures, tunes, and keys, and
is an excellent choice for Eastertide, Ascension,
Christ the King, or other times of year.

The Day of Resurrection—arr. Shelton Ridge Love.
Easter triumph resounds from the opening fanfare
of this brilliant arrangement of
LANCASHIRE. Scored
for SATB voices and organ, it features congregation
throughout and optional brass quartet and timpani.
After the thrilling opening fanfare, unison voices
and congregation sing the first stanza. A gradually
thickening choral texture leads to full four-part harmony
on stanza two, enlivened by nice strokes of harmonic
color in the accompaniment. Chorusing "alleluias" soar
through the modulating transition to the final stanza,
where a descant crowns unison voices culminating in
a return of the "alleluias" for the postlude. Use the final
eight measures as an introit.
