This Palm Sunday anthem opens with a choral antiphonal fanfare, “Hosanna in excess Deo”, which is followed by a setting of the familiar hymn, “Hosanna, Loud Hossana”. The final verse is joined with a descant that brings the music to a full and glorious ending. The optional handbells enhance the music from beginning to end. Shawnee Press.
