Description:
The percussion part is for drum set.
While death can bring deep sorrow, this setting seeks to frame it also as rebirth—an entrance into joy. The anthem is intentionally percussive, yet fluid, with a gospel rhythmic drive. It’s obvious that the musical language is rooted in the gospel tradition, steadily building in energy and expectation. Above all, this work is about joy: joy in promise, joy in faith, and joy in victory.
