Orig inally featured in the popular choral collection Redeemed (55/1202MD), this bright Easter morning song opens with a festive brass fanfare and driving instrumentation.

A triumphant unison fanfare sounds a clarion call in praise of music at the start of this concert/contest opener, followed by a contemplative, chant-like middle section on a brief Latin text. An accelerating return to the jubilant main theme leads to a majestic and satisfying conclusion. Be sure to add the optional trumpet part for full effect.
