Douglas Nolan: A Festive Hosanna: Chœur Mixte et Accomp.

Bubbling with joy and life, this anthem in 6/8 has an almost classical vibe! Hosannas repeat again and again, creating a sonic engine that propels the piece forward with joy and purpose. A short contrasting middle section offers expressive potential before returning to the energy of the opening theme. The brevity of this selection makes it exceptionally useful as a Palm Sunday opener, and the handbells will add to the celebration. Jubilant! Handbell part (3 octaves) available as a digital download.
