EspañolThe Lord is Risen Indeed! William Billings
Title:
The Lord is Risen Indeed! William Billings
Description:
I received many nice responses from my fusion project involving an 18th century American hymn and Orthodox icons, so, here is a second effort. William Billings was the last prominent composer to work prior to the destruction of American sacred music during the Second Great Awakening. The harmonics, text, and a capella setting are all familiar to an Orthodox Christian. There are those doing their best to preserve this heritage. I give them my regards, wish them well, and extend to them my hope that they succeed in passing on the torch to a new generation. This piece is sung by His Majesty's Clerkes under the direction of Paul Hillier.
