Dan Forrest : Hosanna

The five a cappella movements forming words from paradise by composer Dan Forrest each set one word from Scripture. The five pieces for a symmetrical arch with selah as the keystone. Each piece represents a different aspect of eternal life in heaven. The pieces are exceptional as a group but are equally successful standing alone.

Originally scored for mixed voices as a part of the set Words from Paradise this re-voicing for unaccompanied male chorus is lively and has use both in the church and with some academic ensembles. Use it on Palm Sunday or as a concert opener. Lots of fun!
