The Easter Anthem was written by William Billings (1746-1800). He was an American choral composer with no formal musical training. His songs were well-loved, however, he received almost nothing from his music. Married and with six children, he died in poverty and his music was forgotten. Ironically, it was resurrected after his death and is still sung today.
May the truth of this glorious Easter Anthem ring in your ears throughout this Holy Week.
