About this Song:
Side Notes: This arrangement combines three of my favorite Easter songs into a piano solo medley. Each hymn is a classic hymn now in the public domain and can be found in hundreds of hymn books across many denominations. The main featured tune in this arrangement is “Christ the Lord Is Risen Today.” The melody comes from an anonymous tune found in the Lyra Davidica collection published around 1708, with text by Charles Wesley (1707–1788). The second hymn, “He Is Risen,” uses a tune by Joachim Neander (1650–1680) with text by Cecil Frances Alexander (1818–1895). The final tune featured is “In the Garden,” a song written in 1912 by C. Austin Miles. It appears in dozens of hymn books and reflects Mary’s experience of seeing the resurrected Savior in the garden. I finished the medley by returning to the first tune with the intention of celebrating and rejoicing in the good news of the resurrection of the Messiah.
This arrangement could potentially be used with a choir, but it was primarily intended to be performed as a piano solo for Easter services. Some of my favorite performances of “Christ the Lord Is Risen Today” feature trumpets and brass instruments, and I tried to capture some of that celebratory sound with what the piano can do as a solo instrument. I hope this arrangement can be enjoyed year-round, but especially during the Easter season.
