Fear Not, Ye People of Zion (HL 35006500)

Inspired by John 12:15, Fear Not, Ye People of Zion is a bright celebration for Palm Sunday which will joyfully set the mood for the day. Generous use of unison and two-part writing mixed with four-part phrases, many using soprano divisi, combine for an easy-to-learn, yet very effective, piece. Its ability to be played on piano or organ makes it suitable for churches with varied accompaniment options. Jon Paige has adeptly captured the feeling of anticipation at the prospect of the approaching Messiah, “Your King is coming today. Lift high your glad hosannas, rejoice, forever give praise.” Exciting.
