 He Lives! He Lives! - Dana Mengel
for Four-part Mixed Voices (SATB) with Keyboard.
An anthem suitable for Eastertide in particular, He Lives! He Lives!, sets an original text by the composer with great fervor and conviction. The central tenant of Christian faith, that Jesus rose from the dead and lives in all who believe is powerfully expressed in this work. The rhythms may be a bit tricky to master at first, but the syncopations give this slow-moving but incisive piece its characteristic intensity. Moderately difficult. Easter/General Church.
