Behold. the Angel of the Lord

Berthold Tours composed this sacred anthem for SATB choir, setting a profoundly moving English text that draws from biblical accounts of the resurrection. The work opens with the awe-inspiring appearance of an angel, setting a scene of divine revelation. The music then reflects the triumph of Christ's rising, directly quoting scripture that proclaims the defeat of death and the grave. The anthem builds to a powerful declaration of God's greatness and worthy praise, culminating in a blessing upon His name forevermore. This piece offers a rich musical setting of significant Eastertide texts, suitable for liturgical occasions celebrating Christ's resurrection.
