Christ being raised from the dead

Samuel Webbe was a notable figure in late 18th-century English music, known for both his secular glees and his sacred compositions. This anthem, Christ being raised from the dead, is a powerful setting of scripture for SATB choir. The text draws from the Easter narrative, celebrating Christ's resurrection and eternal life, before moving to a glorious affirmation of God's love and sacrifice for humankind. The music reflects the triumphant and devotional nature of the words, offering a rich and resonant choral experience. It is a fine example of English sacred music from the period, suitable for services and concerts.
