Product Description

Experience the timeless beauty of John Rogers Thomas's "Christ Our Passover" in a meticulously crafted string quartet arrangement. Originally composed as an Easter anthem in 1884, this piece has been thoughtfully adapted for 2 violins, viola, and violoncello, with an optional 5th part for Contrabass to enrich the ensemble's depth and resonance. Perfect for chamber musicians, church services, or special Easter performances, this arrangement captures the Romantic elegance and spiritual depth of Thomas's original work.

John Rogers Thomas (1829-1896), a Welsh-American composer, pianist, and singer, was a prominent figure in the 19th-century American music scene. His composition "Christ Our Passover" is a moving anthem set to text from Pascha Nostrum and biblical verses, including 1 Corinthians 5:7-8 and Romans 6:9-11. The piece's lyrical melodies and rich harmonies reflect the Romantic era's expressive style, making it a cherished addition to sacred and classical repertoires alike.

This string quartet arrangement preserves the anthem's reverent and celebratory character while offering a fresh, intimate interpretation for string players. Whether performed as a quartet or quintet, this arrangement is ideal for Easter services, recitals, or any occasion calling for a meaningful and uplifting musical offering.

Bring the spirit of Easter and the legacy of John Rogers Thomas to life with this exquisite arrangement of "Christ Our Passover". A must-have for string ensembles seeking to explore the rich heritage of American sacred music.
