That Easter Day With Joy Was Bright uses the tune Puer Nobis Nascitur, attributed to Michael Praetorius, but which may have fifteenth- or even fourteenth-century folk roots. This arrangement is for unaccompanied brass quintet, with a slightly different harmonization for each of the four verses, and giving most of the parts the melody at one time or another. Other hymns using this tune include the Christmas hymn What Star Is This, With Beams So Bright? and the Advent hymn On Jordan's Bank the Baptist's Cry.
