He Is Risen! is an Easter musical drama by Lloyd Larson. Approximately 7 minutes long, it is designed for performance within the framework of a regular Easter service. The quiet instrumental prologue and narration recall Easter dawn. After a reflection on the crucifixion, we hear the joyous strains of the brilliant chorus, "He Is Risen!" The majestic hymn, "The Day of Resurrection," ingeniously sung to Samuel Wesley's melody, "Aurelia," concludes the work. Available in both SATB and SAB voicings, it features optional narration, soloist and congregation. Smaller choirs will love the solo trumpet obbligato (opt., part included). Larger choirs will thrill to Lloyd's dynamic orchestration (opt. InstruPax available separately).

This series isn't intended for a self-instructional settingthe exercises include accompaniments for a teacher to play along with the student(s)but its content is comprehensive enough that it could be used for self-instruction as well.

Of all these series, thisalong with Carl Fischer's "ABC's of Strings" book and DVD series by Janice Tucker Rhoda (which is an ongoing series but has no new or forthcoming 2009 titles)is probably the most traditional in instructional style. For adults. New for 2009: Bass 101 (ISBN 978-0-7390-5695-0), Guitar 101 (ISBN 978-0-7390-5694-3), and Keyboard 101 (ISBN 978-0-7390-5693-6).
