He's Alive

Frances Matthews's anthem He's Alive is scored for SSATB voices in English. This is a joyful declaration of the resurrection, drawing on a celebratory, almost folk-like opening phrase, 'Heyana hunana dun da day', before building to the central message of Christ's victory over death. The text directly addresses the disbelief of some, contrasting it with the undeniable evidence of the resurrection and the freedom from sin it promises. The music, though not provided here, would likely reflect the jubilant and affirmative nature of the lyrics. This piece offers a powerful and engaging way to convey the Easter message.
