Description
SATB Choir and Organ (with optional Brass Quintet and Timpani). From Handel's oratorio Judas Macabbeus, (with a few text changes.) A great Easter piece when you're looking for something big and fun to sing with your Easter brass. Don't have any brass? This works equally well with the organ accompaniment. A stately opening followed by a fugal section - a bit of Baroque delight! Also available for SAB.
The ZIP (EXTRAS) file contains the full score and instrumental parts.

Lyrics
Good Christians all, rejoice and sing.
To all the world, good news we bring.
Let all the earth in triumph say,
The Lord of Life is ours today!
For Christ has risen from the grave,
born to be conqueror, born to save.
