About Christ is risen from the dead
George J. Elvey's setting of Christ is risen from the dead is a jubilant SATB anthem celebrating the Resurrection. Its English text focuses on the theological significance of Christ's victory over death, proclaiming that He died to sin once but now lives unto God. The music reflects the exultant message of the Hallelujah chorus, making it a powerful addition to Easter services. As a composer known for his contributions to Anglican church music, Elvey brings a sense of tradition and gravitas to this uplifting anthem. The direct and declarative text, paired with a clear musical setting, ensures its message of hope and redemption resonates powerfully with choirs and congregations alike.
