Hosanna to the Son of David

This jubilant SATB setting of Hosanna to the Son of David is ideal for a Palm Sunday entrance. Calkin’s music joyfully proclaims the arrival of Jesus in Jerusalem, setting English words that bless him and acknowledge his kingship. The text also expands to invoke peace in heaven and glory in the highest places, reflecting the solemnity and awe of the occasion. This anthem builds to a powerful expression of praise and acclamation, perfectly suited to opening a Lenten service or a special occasion marking Christ’s entry into the city. Its direct and fervent musical language makes it an accessible yet deeply moving choice for choirs seeking to convey profound spiritual meaning.
