Arise – Extra Score

Arise is a setting of the American folk tune Restoration, first published in 1835 in Southern Harmony, a popular shape-note tunebook compiled by William Walker. Known for its dark, modal beauty, the tune has been paired with several hymn texts over time. This arrangement highlights a wide range of textures, including long pedal tones, planing chords, a sprightly triplet countermelody, canonic layering, and rich augmentation. Carefully crafted for developing ensembles, Arise offers both a rewarding musical challenge and a poignant, expressive moment in performance.
