A Chorale Prelude. Concert Band. Symphony Band Series. Audio recording available separately (item CL.WFR372). Extra full score. Composed 2011. Duration 4 minutes, 20 seconds. Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications #012-4055-01. Published by Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications (CL.012-4055-01). This beautiful setting of one of the most popular hymns ever written, Christ The Lord is Risen Today, was respectfully commissioned by the Ohio chapter of Phi Beta Mu in memory of James Morgan. Its musical impact is undeniably both breathtaking and stunning beyond all descriptive words. The emotional conclusion of this work allows for the audience to sing the hymn while an antiphonal brass section soars high above with emotional reverence. Both of these creative ideas are purely optional, but they should be definitely thought of as highly effective when applied. Inspiring!
