This classic Joe E. Parks Easter cantata permits both the choir and congregation to worship and sing praise to the risen Lord. Rather than reviewing the events that led to the death and resurrection of Christ, this musical work focuses on praising God for who He is and what He did in the atonement process. Songs include: Christ Arose * Christ Has Risen! Alleluia! * Christ Has Risen! Alleluia! (Finale) * Crown Him With Many Crowns * Easter Alleluia! * Holy Is The Lord * Holy; Holy; Holy * When I Survey The Wondrous Cross * Worthy Is The Lamb * Worthy Is The Lamb
This musical work investigates the theological and liturgical expression of the resurrection through a structured cantata format designed for congregational and choral participation. Joe E. Parks, a composer known for his contributions to church music, utilizes a collection of hymns and original compositions to facilitate a worship experience centered on the atonement. The work shifts the focus from a narrative retelling of the crucifixion to a direct act of praise and adoration for the risen Lord.
What You Will Find
The work is regarded as a functional resource for church music directors seeking to facilitate congregational engagement during the Easter season. Its focus on praise and worship rather than historical narrative provides a distinct liturgical framework for religious services.
