About Arise and hail the happy day
Thomas Clark sets a jubilant English text to music for SATB choir. The piece opens with a sense of energetic movement, reflecting the call to 'arise and hail the happy day'. The composer captures the joyous spirit of the text, which celebrates the resurrection and its promise of healing. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic textures and a full, resonant sound, suitable for conveying the profound theological message of the hymn. It is a straightforward and uplifting setting of this familiar sacred text.
