This
music drama is
approximately nine
minutes in length and is
perfect for incorporation
into regular worship on
Palm/Passion Sunday. John
Parker’s inspired
narrative opens the work
with shouts of
“Hosanna!†as
Jesus enters Jerusalem.
Mark Hayes’s score
enters with growing
intensity, and the choir
sings a triumphant anthem
of praise. The mood
changes during the first
interlude, as the high
priests plot against
Jesus, and the music
beautifully underscores
the scripture-based
narrative. The second
chorus conveys the scene
at the Last Supper with
haunting melodies and a
lyrically flowing
accompaniment. The mood
of the following
interlude is one of
steadfast faith, quoting
the hymn “All Hail
the Power of
Jesus’
Name.†Its
narrative is inspired by
Philippians
2:5–11. The final
chorus is a majestic yet
reflective affirmation of
faith in praise to Jesus,
Who was faithful to His
final breath. This CD
includes both the SATB
and SAB performance
versions.
