I Am the Resurrection and the Life

This anthem has an antiphonal feel as the voices and brass play off of each other. The melody and accompaniment are exultant and victorious, as is fitting for such a glorious proclamation. The text, so often used in funeral and memorial services, is an expression of hope and comfort which is appropriate any time. “I Am the Resurrection and the Life” emphasizes the basic gospel message of John 11:25 with joyful and powerful music. Includes optional soprano solo. Organ accompaniment may be enhanced with optional brass quartet
