CGA997 Arise, Shine, Jesus Has Come
Description
This joyful anthem captures the excitement and wonder of the shepherds as they learned of Christ's birth. A trumpet-like fanfare in the piano sets the stage for the lilting 6/8 melody, as young voices declare, 'Arise, shine, Jesus has come!' An optional Scripture reading is also included that may be used to introduce the anthem.
This anthem can be sung as a stand-alone piece or may be combined with these two companion pieces: Come, Come Emmanuel (CGA1031) and Arise, Shine, Jesus Has Come! (CGA997). Together, the three anthems make a delightful seasonal trilogy or mini-musical especially suited for younger children's choirs.
Voicing: Unison with piano and optional 3 handbells and handchimes
Composer: Lynn Shaw Bailey, Becki Slagle Mayo
