CGB1155 Rejoice, the Lord Is King! - 3-7 octaves
Description
Built on a rhythmic motif, Matthew Compton gives us a fresh and joyous take on a well-loved hymn. A contrasting middle section provides a moment of reflection, and a soaring counter melody carries the piece through to a rousing conclusion. Rejoice, the Lord Is King! will provide a celebratory addition to Christ the King/Reign of Christ Sunday, Easter/Eastertide, as well as other times in the church year. It will also make an excellent concert opener or closer.
