The Day the Savior Came - SSATBB & Piano or Organ
Reverent and expansive, The Day the Savior Came reflects the sublime wonder of the sacred moment recorded in the Book of Mormon, when the resurrected Lord appeared to the people in the ancient Americas. This powerful arrangement invites performers and listeners alike to ponder the compassion, mercy, and divine love of the risen Savior.
Arranger Randy Kartchner builds upon Ann Luke Bailey’s beloved, flowing melody, shaping it into a richly expressive work for mixed SSATBB chorus with piano or organ. Through thoughtful harmonic shifts and layered choral writing, the music unfolds the story with tenderness and awe—often from a parent’s gentle perspective—bringing both intimacy and grandeur to this sacred narrative.
The mature scoring and multi-part divisions call for a seasoned choir and an accomplished accompanist, but the result is deeply rewarding: a full, resonant sound that testifies of Christ’s grace and invites profound reverence. This piece is especially well suited for stake conferences, devotionals, and refined Easter programs.
An optional organ accompaniment, skillfully adapted by Dr. Neal Harmon, further enhances the majesty of the work, allowing for an even more expansive and worshipful presentation (optional organ accompaniment sold separately).
