Product Description
He Lives Today,
choral church anthem composed in 2016
The Inspiration
The anxiety, fear and anticipation
felt by Mary as she approached the tomb of Jesus, only to be replaced
by great joy!
The Music
Composed for choir, soprano soloist,
flute and piano. The piece begins with a somber flute solo, depicting
Mary's journey to the tomb of the Lord Jesus. When finally reached,
the flute solo quietly ends and the glorious choir response begins
"Our Lord Has Risen! He Lives Today!" followed by the directive
"Go Spread The News!". The soprano soloist then recounts the
event at the tomb between Mary and the angel. A repeat of the initial
chorus brings the piece to a joyous close "Our Lord Has Risen! He
Lives Today!"
Program Notes
The piece was written specifically
to be used at the beginnings of a church service, or at the end, with
the flute solo omitted. Of course it can be used for both!
