Erica Marshall has written masses and other liturgically useful pieces over the years and this little acclamation is for an SATB choir to sing during baptisms.
The sheet music can be purchased at Willow, where you can see the sample sheet music.
My backing is just the soprano line, but the full thing would sound great – in fact if anyone has a recording of their choir doing this in its four part glory I’d love to hear it.
Awake! Arise from death!
Christ will shine upon you!

I once queried Frank Andersen’s use of exclamation marks and I’m told when my concerns were conveyed to him he asked whether I wanted question marks instead. (I suspect I wasn’t the first to do so.) I mention this because it may be contagious – Erica was instrumental in the arrangements for Frank Andersen’s songs.
