Christ the Lord Is Risen Today (Easter Hymn) (West Point Cadet Chapel Organ)

West Point Organist Craig Williams plays "Christ the Lord Is Risen Today" to the tune "Easter Hymn" from the Lyra Davidica, a collection from London of hymn tunes, taken from various sources. The source of this tune is not known, though its ornate nature suggests it might be from older English psalmody or perhaps the Lutheran chorale tradition. In some hymnals, the hymn "Jesus Christ Is Risen Today" is set to this tune, and the texts are the same meter and interchangeable. Where one text is set in a hymnal to "Easter Hymn," the other text is usually set to the Welsh tune "Llanfair." #pipeorgan #easter #hymn #westpoint
