A great prelude, offertory, or postlude for Palm Sunday, this brass sextet arrangement of the famous song by Jean-Baptiste Faure is a two-stanza setting that moves the melody perfectly between instruments, adding counterpoint and a flowing accompaniment in the non-melody instruments. Everyone who knows this song will be mentally singing along as the brass (with optional percussion) lead in celebration of the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem.

This stirring arrangement of the Samuel Ward tune is perfect for any patriotic service or concert. A dramatic introduction gives way to a legato first stanza, followed by a more dramatic second stanza. A short interlude leads to the final stanza, which starts slower and legatissimo and concludes powerfully and marcato in the original tempo.
