Christ the Lord Is Risen Today

In this uplifting hymn setting, we hear the tune GWALCHMAI paired with Wesley's well-known Resurrection text. It is skillfully scored for two-part choir with descant, organ, flute, and handbells. It features a musical texture that gradually increases in complexity over its three verses, culminating in a rousing final chorus of "Alleluias!" Choirs, especially those with modest forces, will appreciate the festive, sonorous effect of this arrangement.
