For SAB Voices and Piano with opt. Handbell 2 Octaves
Words and Music by Lloyd Larson
Joyous and buoyant are apt descriptors of this readily learned Easter anthem. The opening theme celebrates the resurrection message and then seamlessly segues into "The Day of Resurrection" before returning to the original melody at the climactic conclusion. The optional handbell part (9 bells) adds an extra dimension of sound to further enhance the anthem's energy.
