Authors: Goode David and Franics Warner Genre: Music Score Tag: Anthem for Easter Day 48pp. 27.00 × 19.00 cm. In 2019, Sir Stephen Cleobury retired after half a century of greatly distinguished service to church music.A little part of that, happily, involved conducting and recording the collections of anthems by Francis and myself - and so it seemed fitting t write more piece for him before his retirement. This piece is the Anthem for Easter Day. (as it happens, Easter remained unmarkedin the collection, unless one counts the Anthem for Christ the King.) Francis' text focussed on a more personal, less overtly triumphant, quality to the Resurrection story, seen from the view of Mary Magdalen, and my setting tried to reflect that, from the somewhat sombre F minor opening of the first eight lines evoking shades of black and what to the anthem's gentle conclusion in colour and scents of that new sprint dawn.
