Arise and Sing

Arr. by Michael Barrett

Joyful confidence surrounds this rhythmic anthem of praise! Unfolding gradually with a series of musical steps, the opening paints the title in vivid hues. A lightly contemporary theme delivers syncopations with well-crafted vocal contours, and the full and rich choral sound of the refrain affirms the call to worship with singing. A brief quote from “When Morning Gilds the Skies” adds contrast and a familiar element to the presentation.
