CGA1394 "Hosanna" Sing to Our Great King!
Description
Switching between lilting refrain and stately stanzas, this Palm Sunday anthem will offer choristers a diverse, exciting musical experience. The contrast also speaks to the irony of the day - a realization of Jesus the Sacrificial Lamb juxtaposed with the crowd's expectation of Christ the Conqueror. Stanzas include optional designations for Group 1 and Group 2 to make this anthem particularly accessible during the busy spring months. Add handbells for a festive sound.
Voicing: Unison/two-part with piano and optional handbells
Composer: Trevor Manor
Season: Palm Sunday, Holy Week
