Blessed Is He

Excitement and anticipation build throughout this triumphant Palm Sunday anthem as the crowd waits in charged expectation for Jesus's arrival in Jerusalem. “Look in the distance!...What do you see?...I heard Messiah iscoming!...Could it be he?” Questions and speculations mount as the long-awaited Christ approaches. “I see it clear...He is here!” Harmony bursts out of the unison “wonderings” to announce the arrivalof Messiah. Blessed Is He is majestic, yet dance-like, inviting all to join the celebration. From Pepper Choplin's best-selling cantata, Once Upon a Tree, this electrifying processional is a must for Palm Sunday.
