Arranged by Dan Forrest. Sacred octavos. Easter, General Worship. Octavo. Beckenhorst Press #2278. Published by Beckenhorst Press (BP.2278).
Dramatic alleluias and an assertive rhythmic impetus interwoven with quotes of Beethoven's Hymn to Joy continually combine with Crown Him with Many Crowns (DIADEMATA), building to an overwhelming scene of worship of the risen Savior, perfect for Easter morning or general worship. Congregation may join in singing first and last stanzas, or all stanzas, for even greater impact. Scored for SATB with piano (in choral score) and/or organ (separate part available), with optional brass sextet/percussion or full orchestra.
