SAB
Composer: Jon Paige
Uses: Easter
Scripture: John 20:1-18; I Corinthians 15:1-8
This crisp SAB anthem is a joyous resurrection declaration. With an elegant, classical lilt, the jubilant main theme opens the piece with unison voices and the spirit of confidence. Well-crafted countermelodies make the piece seem richer and more difficult that it actually is. A contrasting middle section brings expressive relief and reminds us of the life that is the triumph of the Easter message. The anthem ends with sharp, clean punctuations of praise.
