Christ Is Risen

This piece, written by Matt Maher and Mia Fieldes, was inspired by a sermon from the 3rd century by St. John Chrysostom. The main idiom of the Easter sermon was _x001C_ Christ is risen from the dead, trampling over death by death, and redeeming us from the grave._x001D_ Maher and Fieldes paint beautifully with lyric and music the amazing nature of Easter which is that God used death to conquer death. The verses are written in a contemporary chant-like form with the bridge becoming a full declaration of our freedom and that God is very much alive. The simple chord structure makes this song easy to play for guitarist. This octavo includes both a keyboard, guitar and SAB choir arrangement.
