Intensely moving! Centering on the paradox of Christ s kingship and redemptive sacrifice, we follow Jesus from his triumphant entrance into Jerusalem, to his agonizing journey to the Cross. The composer achieves this dramatic dichotomy by casting the choir in the role of the palm-waving crowd, and soloists (or smaller choir) as those who cry for Jesus' death in Pilate's hall. What a fitting anthem for Palm Sunday!
