This lilting anthem for combined choirs is a festive choice for Palm Sunday. The original text by John Clausen captures the excitement of the first Palm Sunday and the forward-moving music represents the grand procession into Jerusalem. The optional octave of handbells provides added excitement, and the closing descant sounds a note of triumph. With generally modest vocal ranges and inclusive style, this anthem is appropriate for a wide range of church choirs.
Reproducible page for Handbells (2 octaves Ð 7 bells) included.
