Ellacombe

Andrew Sims sets the ancient Greek Easter antiphon 'Anastaseos hemera' ('Day of Resurrection') alongside an English text. The piece is arranged for solo voice with a descant line, making it suitable for services where a soaring melodic line is desired. The combination of Greek and English offers a connection to the historic roots of Easter celebration while maintaining accessibility for a modern congregation. The sacred nature of the text is reflected in the soaring melodic lines and the clear, devotional style of the composition.
