William Billings: Easter Anthem: (Arr. Hugh Chandler): Chœur Mixte et Accomp.

William Billings is widely recognized as the father of American choral music. With elegant simplicity he followed the lead of his European contemporaries and imparted his own unique style. This Easter declaration bravely states the victorious words of Christ's resurrection without accompaniment, yet the strength of the anthem rings easily and powerfully.
