Here's the perfect alternative to an Easter cantata. Approximately 7 minutes long, this Easter musical drama by Lloyd Larson is perfect for performance during regular Easter worship. The quiet instrumental prologue and narration recall Easter dawn. After a reflection on the crucifixion, we hear the joyous strains of the brilliant chorus, He Is Risen! The majestic hymn, The Day of Resurrection, ingeniously sung to Samuel Wesley's melody, Aurelia, concludes the work. Available in both SATB and SAB voicings, He Is Risen! features optional narration, soloist and congregation. A solo trumpet part (optional) is also included in the octavo. The InstruPax includes director's score and parts for 2 trumpets, French horn, trumpet 3 (French horn sub), 2 woodwinds or strings, clarinet (woodwind 2 sub), 2 trombones, tuba and percussion.
