Gloria, laus et honor

Sung during Palm Sunday processions, Gloria, laus et honor is a powerful setting of a well-known Latin hymn. The text proclaims Christ's kingship and praises Him as He enters Jerusalem, a theme amplified by the triumphant character of this Renaissance composition. Ginés Pérez de la Parra crafts an effective SATB texture, with the voices often moving in homophony to deliver the weighty sentiments with clarity and conviction. The music is direct and noble, perfectly suited to the liturgical setting for which it was conceived. This polyphonic setting of a familiar Palm Sunday text offers a strong and musically rewarding experience for choirs and congregations alike.
