Opis

for SATB and organ or brass ensemble This triumphant anthem for mixed voices and organ sets a well-known Easter text by Edmund Spenser. Building from a calm, reflective soprano melody to a grandiose fortissimo climax for full choir underpinned by rich organ harmonies, this anthem will be a stirring addition to all Eastertide celebrations. An accompaniment for brass ensemble, timpani, and organ is available on hire/rental.

Recenzje

Here a gentle melodic mood prevails at the beginning and the end with a more dramatic middle section. Chilcott's craftsmanship and melodic inventiveness is apparent in an attractive anthem that will enhance any choir's Easter programme.
