The music of Charles O. Beck
Hosanna!
SATB with children's choir, piano accompaniment,
and optional recorder descant
As might be intimated from the title, this piece was written primarily to celebrate Palm Sunday. Its Jewish ‘flavor’ makes it ideal for a Palm Sunday processional, complete with waving palm leaves.

This piece can be performed with or without a children's choir, but is especially nice when done with children. When performed without children, a group of sopranos can take their part.
The demo recording has been created using the EastWest Quantum Leap Choirs sound libraries.
