With words by Peter the Venerable (12th Century), this is a reflective rather than triumphal piece for SATB choir for Easter. A slight challenge, in that the two verses are not structurally identical - the first has 6 lines; the second, 8. Musically, the first is very much a straightforward chorale-type hymn tune with little decoration. The second verse is somewhat more elaborate in the harmony parts with assorted passing notes, suspensions & resolutions, with the extended tune noticeably more florid in many places. Ideal as an Easter-season anthem and well within the scope of an average-competence choir. Piano accompaniment preferably for rehearsal only.
