Christ the Lord Is Risen Today

Arranged and Orchestrated by: Daniel Semsen

Your congregation will be on the edge of their seats as you paint the stage with dramatic anticipation in this spoken prelude written by Christy and Daniel Semsen and Lyria Davidica. But the story doesn't end there! The prelude builds to the glorious moment when Jesus steps out of the tomb--alive! This traditional hymn has been given a new arrangement as Daniel Semsen takes the familiar Charles Wesley song and injects fresh vitality. Perfect as a stand-alone piece for that resurrection moment in any Easter musical presentation!
