From the cantata Sacred Places, the festive spirit in this Palm Sunday piece is evident from the very first measure! Springing from two cherished American hymn tunes, PROMISED LAND and LAND OF REST, the jubilant 6/8 meter captures the sway of palm fronds. A quote from All Glory, Laud and Honor recalls the triumphal entry as praise echoes through the modern sanctuary. Thoughtful part writing enables a speedy learning process as the piano offers an almost orchestral support for the vocals. Triumphant! Score and Parts for Full Orchestra (fl 1-2/pic, ob, cl 1-2, bn, hn 1-2, tpt 1-3, tbn 1-2, tba, timp, perc 1-2, hp, vn 1-2, va, vc, db) and Consort (fl, cl, tpt 1-2, tbn, bls, perc, pno, kybd 1, gtr/kybd 2) both available as a digital download.
