Anthem for Brass Quintet – Day of Resurrection

As a showcase for expressive development of the Lancashire hymn tune written by Henry Smart around 1835 (also known as “Lead On, O King Eternal” and “O Day of Light and Gladness”), this setting for brass quintet is appropriate for performances throughout the year while also suitable for Easter worship services, with or without the optional timpani part.
