The finale of three mini concerts I created for Easter weekend 2021 and am sharing on YouTube. Click play and enjoy!

On this last of three mini concerts I created for Easter weekend, I’m celebrating with some of the jubalient christian hymns my father taught me. These songs consider how the testimony of the women and angels throws the whole world into a new light. They brought the news the tomb was empty and that changes how we view our every day purpose. We’re not fighting death anymore because Jesus has brought life–not just on Easter but every day of the year!

Up From the Grave He Arose, Easter Song, Because He Lives, Morning Has Broken.

Morning Has Broken

A classical meditation on a traditional Celtic tune swells like sunshine over the horizon. Perfect for Weddings, Church services, teaching ostinato patterns or just relaxing in your own morning routine. Anna redesigned this tune for her CD Hymns and Variations. It incorporates a lilting left hand with a clean right hand melody, breathing new expression into a familiar tune.

Easter weekend is the occasion for some of my favorite music for the whole year! This year, I’m recording three mini concerts for Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday, sharing some of the most often requested or most moving easter songs so click the link and enjoy!

I started with the arrangements of Bach’s O Sacred Head Now Wounded, one of the songs I recorded on my first CD The Sounding Joy. The lyrics attributed to Bernard of Clairvox Marvel that the Godhead would bother about us, submit to our suffering “all for sinner’s gain.” You can hear the recording on my CD on iTunes or Spotify.

That God would choose this way of suffering is beautifully captured in this next song, Via Dolorosa–“He chose to walk this road out of his love for you and me.”

This level of love just boggles the mind, making us ask, How Deep The Father’s Love For Us? This is the wonder of Good Friday—at a specific time at a specific location in Israel, God demonstrated his love to us.

It’s this tactile quality to the gospel that makes me reecho the words of Fanny Crosby “Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross,” not just for Easter but all year long.
