Ideal for those churches who desire a short yet powerful seasonal work, this suite explores Jesus' entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, His prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane, the crucifixion at Golgotha, and the resurrection on Easter Sunday. The four anthems may be presented together utilizing the included narration as a mini-cantata for Holy Week, or they may be presented individually during Palm Sunday, Holy Week and Easter services, making this a truly versatile consideration for Holy Week worship. Regardless of your presentation choice, the superb choral writing of Lloyd Larson and the tasteful orchestration of Brant Adams shine through to create a truly meaningful worship experience. Performance time: approximately 15-20 minutes.

Boldly triumphant, this Easter anthem features new music and text by two of this century’s premier church writers. It opens with brilliant figures in the accompaniment and a majestic choral acclamation. The second verse is more reflective, recalling the crucifixion. The tempo quickens as the fanfare returns, heralding the entrance of Beethoven’s beloved Ode to Joy. Shifting again in tempo and in key, the final verse resounds with victorious grandeur and rising alleluias. (From the cantata Forsaken. SATB – 55/1112L; SAB – 55/1113L.).
