Latin Hymn Translation by John Mason Neale
Arranged by Patti Drennan
Patti Drennan's arrangement for choir and optional congregation will be the highlight of your Resurrection celebrations! Congregation joins the choir on verses one and two with fanfare-like accompaniment supporting the intuitive vocal writing. The choir introduces a colorful harmonization on the third stanza. After a rousing key change, the congregation rejoins the choir for the last stanza and sopranos can soar on an optional descant. This festive concertato finishes with an exciting choral, "Alleluia! Amen!" A brass orchestration for Trumpets 1-3, Horn in F, Trombones 1-3, Tuba, Percussion 1&2, and Keyboard/Rhythm is available separately.
