Composed by Jean Tisserand (?-1494). Arranged by Todd Marchand. Easter,Sacred. 37 pages. Con Spirito Music #3455833. Published by Con Spirito Music (A0.726075).
The Easter hymn, "O Sons and Daughters" ("O Filii et Filiae") is attributed to a Franciscan monk, Jean Tisserand (?-1494). It was discovered in a booklet printed in Paris between 1518 and 1536, was translated from Latin to English by the Anglican priest and hymnodist John Mason Neale (1818-1866), and was published in his Medieval Hymns, 1851. The tune is thought to be from the same era as the text, perhaps also written by Tisserand.
This arrangement begins with a brass-and-timpani fanfare and the opening antiphon, "Alleluia, Alleluia!" followed by four verses accompanied by organ, handbells, brass, and organ, respectively. The opening fanfare returns as an interlude before verse 5, in which all voices and instruments join together. The antiphon returns after verse 5, followed by a celebratory instrumental fanfare to conclude the hymn.
Includes voice part; also may be sung from hymnal or projected text. May be performed without handbells, if necessary, as the handbells-accompanied verse 2 is cued in the organ.

Alleluia, alleluia! Alleluia, alleluia!
1. O sons and daughters, let us sing! The King of Heav'n, the glorious King, O'er death and hell rose triumphing. Alleluia, alleluia!
2. That Easter morn, at break of day, The faithful women went their way To seek the tomb where Jesus lay. Alleluia, alleluia!
3. An angel clad in white they see, Who sat and spoke unto the three, "Your Lord goes on to Galilee." Alleluia, alleluia!
4. That night the apostles met in fear; Amidst them came their Lord most dear, And said, "My peace be with you here." Alleluia, alleluia!
5. On this most holy day of days, to God your hearts and voices raise in laud, and jubilee and praise. Alleluia, alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia! Alleluia, alleluia!
