Teaching Overview: Easter Affirmation is an easy choir-and-congregation anthem for Easter morning, even if the entire choir has been on Spring break during Holy Week. The congregational response echoes the refrain sung by the choir. The refrain itself is appropriate for communion/Eucharist use. Use an ascending Mixolydian modal scale as a warm-up for this anthem.
