Christ The Lord Is Risen Today

This well-crafted Easter piece begins with a majestically-written melodic fanfare before setting into the call and response section of the opening theme. For a wonderful effect, an interlude based upon the opening motif moves this favorite hymn melody into a refreshing key change which finds all of the instruments moving in independent, beautiful lines. Arranged to be performed by a core group of only four players (2 trumpets and 2 trombones), a horn part is included which is independent of the other parts. The addition of the horn, although not necessary for a full, rich sound will, however, add to the depth of the piece. All-in-all, this is a musical offering which is fun to play and fun to hear.
