Hosanna to the Son of David

Palm Sunday Trumpet Octet Sheet Music PDF
by Eddie Lewis

On Palm Sunday, 2016, Pearl and I were at church and the praise and worship band was doing their weekly bit, the same praise and worship music they played every week. I said to my self while I was standing there, “this is not what Palm Sunday sounds like.”

In response, the Holy Spirit asked me, “What does Palm Sunday sound like to you?”

I stopped singing and immediately heard trumpets in my head. I quickly grabbed a church bulletin, scribbled a few makeshift staves, then wrote what I was hearing in my head.

When we got home, I hopped onto the computer and started writing this piece.

Hosanna to the Son of David actually began as a trumpet quartet, but it didn’t have the fullness I was hearing in my head. So I doubled the number of trumpets and really thickened the texture.
