SEE ME IN GALILEE

"See Me In Galilee" is a bright, urgent Easter anthem that captures the very moment the Resurrection is announced. Drawing directly from the Gospel accounts of Easter morning, the song voices Christ’s own command to Mary Magdalene: to stop clinging to Him and instead run to the disciples with the good news. The melody carries a lively, forward-moving energy—marked *Vivace* on the score—that perfectly matches the excitement of a breathless messenger rushing back from the empty tomb.

For a choir, this piece shines brightest during the Easter season, especially as a joyful Entrance or Recessional hymn. The verses unfold the story step by step, moving from Christ’s gentle instruction ("Do not touch me Mary") to the believer’s joyful testimony ("I have seen the Saviour"). When the choir launches into the refrain, the overlapping harmonies emphasize the promise that the risen Lord goes ahead of His flock. It is a wonderful choice for Easter Sunday Mass, sending the congregation out with the same mission given to the first witnesses: to go out and share the triumph of the risen Lord.
