More about this title
About the Arranger: Johnny Mann
Johnny Mann is a legendary choral arranger whose work has defined the sound of contemporary sacred and popular music for decades. His gift lies in crafting singable yet sophisticated arrangements that honor the integrity of beloved melodies while making them accessible to diverse ensembles and audiences.
Why we love this
Mann's skill at weaving multiple hymn texts into a coherent emotional arc means your choir doesn't just perform four separate songs; they tell a unified story of resurrection joy. The brass and handbell options give you real flexibility in voicing without requiring anything exotic, and the congregational pages transform a performance moment into genuine corporate worship.
What to expect
Exuberant and grounded at once. The familiar melodies give singers and listeners immediate access to the joy, while the rich harmonic support and brass color elevate it into something celebratory and grand. Four minutes that feel like a full Easter proclamation.
Who it's for
Any church or school choir looking for an Easter presentation with real substance. This works equally well for a full choral service, a special anthem moment, or a concert where hymn-based music fits your program.
How to get the most out of it
- Build the dynamic shape gradually across the four hymns rather than starting at full volume. The arc from 'Christ the Lord' through to 'All Hail the Power' deserves space to grow.
- If handbells are available, let them ring through the transitions between hymns so the music feels seamless rather than episodic.
- Rehearse the congregation pages early and often. When your audience joins in, the energy shift is remarkable; treat it like you would any other choir section.
- Balance the brass so they enhance the hymn melodies rather than overpower them. These texts carry centuries of meaning; serve that first.
How to use it
Open your Easter sunrise service or Resurrection Sunday concert with this. It sets the theological and emotional tone immediately, and if you're building toward a longer choral work, this medley works beautifully as the opening statement before moving into more extended repertoire.
