* verse anthem for Palm Sunday that captures the majesty of the day through fanfare-like organ accompaniment and uplifting metrical shifts, and the modal character of the vocal line * ABA form: Dr. Lau uses variation between unison singing, duetting, and simple, direct harmonic writing * soprano descant for the final verse written with vocal sensitivity and overarching musical line shape * doubling the trumpet part in either the organ accompaniment or soprano line, Dr. Lau makes this anthem a practical, uplifting for Palm Sunday or Christ the King offertory, and a joyful anthem of praise for other occasions.
