The Royal Welcome (An Introit for Palm Sunday)

By Pamela Stewart, arr. by Jon Paige

The music of a celebrated Handel aria forms the foundation of this introit for Palm Sunday. Arranged with thoughtful care to the original, the regal qualities translate eloquently to the sanctuary for this special seasonal usage. A well-crafted text clearly celebrates the triumphal entry with confidence and the string consort orchestration adds classical grace to the presentation.
