The Lord is Risen Indeed! – Choral and Organ
Craig Phillips
This ebullient anthem is based on a text of Irish hymn writer Thomas Kelly. Phillips has set the text to dance rhythms (9/8, 12/8 etc.) and this rhythmic interest is in both voices and organ, with an exciting ending. The piece is available in two versions: one with organ alone as accompaniment, the other adding brass and tympani, both effective as an anthem of praise.
Craig Phillips (All Saints’ Episcopal Church, Beverly Hills, California) continues to give us an every-growing body of tuneful and exciting choral music. This stirring Easter anthem has, as is usual in his choral works, a brilliant and rhythmic organ part under vibrant choral lines, setting a text by Thomas Kelly. The final two pages are exhilarating with Alleluias shared between choir and organ.
