Easter Jazz
Posted: March 23, 2008
A timeless tune with a new twist…
A blue note heard on Friday
had been coaxed from sorrow's horn.
Clarinets, trumpets and saxes
moaned in time 'til Sunday morn.
And then (oh my) such music!
With the sunrise (saints alive!)
there were flutes, French horns and cellos
making melodies that jibed.
Add some trombones. Cue the tubas,
violins, guitars and drums.
There was all that jazz (and then some)
praising God for Kingdom come.
Women mourning started dancing
to the herd of thundering notes
as the Prince of Joy (now risen)
donned His resurrection coat.
O my Lord, it was some morning.
Bourbon Street could ne'er compare
to the music born that Easter
and the song that filled the air.
