If you are a church pianist and are looking for a piece for Easter that is just a little different, exciting, celebratory, and engaging, you might take a look at the arrangement of “Christ the Lord is Risen Today” in the Rejoice! book.

Listen for the syncopation in the verse that seems to make the listeners want to yell out, “He is Risen!” Wait, did I say “Christ the Lord is Risen Today” is syncopated? Yep…here’s a sample.
Christ the Lord is Risen Today
