Christ the Lord is Risen Today


I wrote this arrangement a couple months before I left on my mission.  I wrote it in a week, learned it the next week then performed it in church.  I definitely had help in writing in.  At one point I was stuck not knowing how to modulate to the final section.  So I was sitting on a chair at my house wondering what to do and suddenly I heard in my head what is now the transition to the last verse.  It quotes a hymn; see if you can figure it out.

This is my testimony in music that Christ lives.  He conquered death and sin and paved the way so that all mankind may be saved.  He lives, and because he lives we too will all live.

  1. This is a beautiful arrangement! The transitive hymn is "He Is Risen," right? I hope it is, or I'll feel like a failure!
