Tenor soloist, trumpet in B flat, SATB choir; ca. 2 min.The composer writes: The words for this short anthem are derived from A Hymn for Easter Day, with a text by the eighteenth-century Lancashire poet John Byrom. Byrom’s hymn was evidently popular, and was sung in churches throughout England.According to a book called Memorials of Hindley (a memoir of daily life in the town of Hindley, Lancashire, published in 1873), the hymn was a favourite of an amateur singer named Timothy Eatock, who used to sing the opening verse as a solo in the local church. This Timothy Eatock was, I believe, my great-great-great-great grandfather.
