Songs of Easter, choral music for the Easter Season. A collection of 8 Easter Hymns and Songs in honour of the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

This video is a collection of live and virtual recordings:

1) Sung by the Sunday 7pm Choir over the years at St. Francis de Sales Church in Ajax ON Canada;

2) Sung by the Anno Domini Chamber Singers (ADCS) over the years in Toronto, ON Canada, directed by David Jafelice

3) Sung by the combined choirs from Northlea United Church and Leaside United Church, our fellow musical brothers and sisters in Christ.

Special thanks to Matthew Boutda, Music Director at Leaside, David Jafelice, Music Director at Northlea United and Peter Bull for his sound editing.

Interesting fact #1: The director of the Sunday 7pm Choir helped start the Anno Domini Chamber Singers along with David Jafelice, and also sung in the ADCS choir for many years.

Interesting fact #2: See if you can find the director of the Sunday 7pm Choir singing in the Hallelujah Chorus virtual choir video, a musical 'Easter Egg' hunt of sorts!
