This rousing call to the table blossoms from a jamaican folk melody, with a boisterous organ, dancing flute, and optional congas enhancing the easy choral parts. Jesus lives again, earth can breathe again, pass the word around: loaves abound!

Bradley Ellingboe is known for his fresh colors and rhythmic nuances in choral music. This anthem virtually dances off the page - which it is meant to do - joyfully inviting all to gather at the table of the Lord.
Flute, congas, and "boisterous organ" (how's that for a combination?) bring out the joy and welcome of the text. Highly effective with smaller student choirs, in combination with adults (even children), and particularly in Festival settings.
