Christ Our Passover

The text is from The Book of Common Prayer, the music is original. A melismatic chant-like opening builds steadily to a dramatic declamation of the text "Therefore let us keep the feast." Then the chant line continues softly in the accompaniment as the final alleluias are sung. The organ accompaniment is quite sufficient but can be augmented with Brass Quintet. From Mass of the Resurrection (ECS 8325).
