Description/Remarks
PEL2077 Christos Anesti is a majestic and
atmospheric anthem for the Feast of the Resurrection. With Greek text
from the Eastern Orthodox Rite,
"Christos Anesti
ek nekron",
which translates as 'Christ is risen from the dead'
and a translation of the words of John of
Damascus from the eight century,
"Thou hallowed
chosen morn of praise",
Halley has created an original piece that juxtaposes rich and angular
tonalities from the East with broad harmonies from the West. This mixing
of two Christian church traditions and harmonic themes results in a
glorious work of build and tension, majesty and depth. The Easter chant,
Victimae Paschali Laudes, makes an appearance in a rolling sequence in
the organ and brass parts, played against the central 'hymn' theme, as
is Halley's style to weave a number of themes and melodies into his
work.
The piece reaches a brilliant climax and
conclusion suited to the glorious Resurrection, the heavens opening with
gold and shimmering light.
It is recommended that the
piece be performed with the accompaniment of organ, brass quintet, and
timpani as originally conceived. Therefore, we recommend at least
20-24 singers to balance the accompanying parts and fill the acoustics
of the church.

Χριστός ανέστη εκ νεκρών,
θανάτω θάνατον πατήσας.

Christos Anesti ek nekron,
thanato thanaton patisas.

Hymn
Words: John of Damascus, eighth century
trans. John Mason Neale, 1862
Thou hallowed chosen morn of praise,
That best and greatest shinest;
Lady and queen and day of days,
Of things divine, divinest!
On thee our praises Christ adore
For ever and for evermore.
Come, let us taste the
Vineʹs new fruit,
For heavenly joy preparing;
Today the branches with the root
In Resurrection sharing:
Whom as true God our hymns adore
For ever and for evermore.
Rise, Sion, rise! and
looking forth,
Behold thy children round thee!
From east and west, from south and north,
Thy scattered sons have found thee;
And in thy bosom Christ adore
For ever and for evermore.
