Christ the Lord Is Risen Today is a traditional Easter hymn associated with Charles Wesley and widely performed in churches around the world during Resurrection Sunday services.

In this piano trio arrangement, the musical texture emphasizes contrapuntal interaction between the instruments, presenting the hymn melody within a flowing chamber ensemble setting. Rather than relying on strongly sectional or march-like passages often heard in traditional arrangements of the hymn, this version develops the material through interweaving melodic lines and balanced ensemble dialogue, creating a transparent and lyrical chamber texture suitable for small ensembles.
