Alleluia! Christ is Risen

This sophisticated anthem comprises 21 pages, and keeps all performers constantly engaged. After an instrumental introduction, the choir enters with dramatic statements that alternate with the brass. This format is used throughout the work. There are passages with the choir in two parts or unison. Psalm statements are used later, with Psalm 150 in a festive 7/8 meter. The opening material returns for the last section, and the work ends with loud climatic Alleluias. Excellent music for larger choirs.
