Intended use: Palm Sunday / Advent
Theme: Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem / the coming of Christ

This triumphant hymn is traditionally used for both Palm Sunday and Advent. Written for choir, organ, optional brass quintet and percussion (timpani and cymbals), the flashy introduction immediately grabs the listener’s attention. The vocal writing is accessible, the tempo infectiously swift, and the brass and percussion punctuate the music in dramatic fashion. Sure to inspire your singers and congregation on either occasion.

If, a song written by David Gates to share the love of a father for his son, was recorded by the band Bread. It peaked at #4 on the Billboard Top 100 in 1971. My father, Jim West, wrote his arrangement in the 1980's for his quartet Memories of Yesterday. It was performed multiple times over the years by his quartets and also by Four the Glory, the quartet that was part of the Alpha Zeta Chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia at Penn State University.

Jim West was a life-long barbershop harmony singer, coach, teacher, arranger, adjudicator, and director. After his death on August 11, 2024, his son, Thomas J. West, began the process of curating his extensive barbershop harmony arrangement library of over 100 hand-crafted arrangements. They are now being sold in an arrangement with Hal Leonard publishing.
