CGA267 On This Day
Description
This triumphant anthem for unison or two-part children's choir with flute obligato (optional) is written with the rhythmic verve and energy that characterize much of Jothen's writing. It provides an excellent opportunity to teach the art of syncopation. The accompaniment works as well with organ as piano. The piece is enhances by the flute obligato but can be done without it. This anthem is mainly for Easter day - a declaration of God's great gift of salvation and freedom - but references scripture in the Christmas and Epiphany sections of the lectionary.
