  • Streaming + Download

    EASTER SPRINGS for S.A.B. choir, violin, cello, and piano is dedicated to and commissioned by the University of Notre Dame’s Children’s Choir, Mark Doerries, Artistic Director; and the Seraphim Choir, Erin Donegan, Music Director. It is technically suited for a high school age youth choir, but could also be successfully performed by adult choirs. Duration is 11:14.

    EASTER SPRINGS has three movements:
    I. Auguries of Innocence (William Blake 1757-1827)
    II. Easter Morning (Gospel quotes)
    III. Easter Week (Charles Kingsley 1819-1875)
    and varied partial repetition of the gospel quotes of the second movement and the William Blake poem of the first movement, which gives a textual and musical cyclic element to the whole work.

    EASTER SPRINGS juxtaposes and synthesizes darkness and light; divine resurrection and the earth’s resurrection every spring.     ... more

lyrics

III. Easter Week (Charles Kingsley, Gospel quotes & William Blake)

See the land her Easter keeping, Rises as her Maker rose.
Seeks, so long in darkness sleeping, Burst at last from winter snows.
Earth with heaven above rejoices,
Fields and gardens hail the spring; Shaughs and woodlands ring with voices, While the wild birds build and sing.

And very early in the morning, the first day of the week, Women brought sweet spices to anoint Jesus.
God Appears & God is Light. Ah!
