Hosanna Filio David, D696:1 by Franz Schubert — Lyrics
About Hosanna Filio David, D696:1
This setting of the antiphon Hosanna filio David would traditionally be sung during the Palm Sunday liturgy. Schubert’s short, vibrant work for SATB choir sets the text that hails Jesus as he enters Jerusalem, invoking his kingship and praise. The music reflects the joyous acclamation, with the choir exclaiming “Hosanna in excelsis” in a final, exultant flourish. The clarity of the Latin text and the directness of the musical response make this an effective and uplifting motet for any liturgical occasion calling for a brief yet powerful anthem.
