About "Risen"Words and music by Bronwyn Edwards"Risen" is an Easter Sunday anthem.Performance Notes: "Risen" is marked Tempo Rubato, with a very slight accelerando at the beginning of each line, and a slight decelerando or ritard at the end of each line, diagrammed like this: Specifically, this could apply to most lines up until the "Hallelujah" section beginning at measure 109, with the exception of page 5, where the energy continues on between "In your realm of Light and Love we find" and "Joy and wholeness, shining Lord of Light." "Risen" begins introspectively, and builds energetically throughout, with specific increases in tempo at page 4 and again on page 10. The song should ebb and flow so as not to sound rhythmically mechanical. Harmonically, there is frequent dissonance between the voices. Each voice has its own melody. Rehearsal parts are below. Performance video is in the right hand column on this page.

LyricsIn a place of darkness you were cast (Lord of Light!) But not forever in this place of darkness would you stay To a place of darkness we have strayed, (Lord of Light.) Jesus Christ, the Son rises, the Light, the Son rises! Hallelujah! Jesus Christ, the Light! Hallelu, hallelujah! Hallelujah, hallelujah! |
