Composer(s): Smith, Lani;

An eloquent, thoughtful text is interwoven with equally passionate music in this exploration of the most important week in the Christian calendar--Holy Week and Easter. As the "hosannas fade into crucify we are led to wonder what we might have done, what we have said, had we been there. What would our reaction have been to the shadow of the cross or the shock of the empty tomb? It is good to wonder, but it is better to know that because of the events of Holy Week, life eternal is the promise. For that Christ paid the ultimate price, so that on Easter Sunday all Christians can respond to the traditional Easter greeting, "The Lord is Risen," with the affirmative response, "He is Risen Indeed!" From the quiet moments of introspection at the Lord's table to the terrible agony of the cross, and culminating with the joyous resurrection, this cantata is a moderately easy, yet completely satisfying and inspirational implement for worship. Indeed, He is Risen! Duration: approximately 40 minutes
