Alfred Publishing Singers, Arise! - Johnson - SATB

Composer: Victor C. Johnson
Format: Choral Octavo
Voicing: SATB with piano accompaniment and optional trumpet (part included)

A triumphant unison fanfare sounds a clarion call in praise of music at the start of this concert/contest opener, followed by a contemplative, chant-like middle section on a brief Latin text. An accelerating return to the jubilant main theme leads to a majestic and satisfying conclusion. Be sure to add the optional trumpet part for full effect.
