Music for Palm Sunday Year A 29th March 2026.

We will likely go with the same music liturgy as in the past:

Entrance: Blessings on the King (Lynch)

Gifts: Glory in the Cross (Schutte)

Communion: We Remember (Haugen)

Recessional: Jesus Remember Me (Berthier)

The psalm response is Psalm 21:

My God, My God, why have you abandoned me?

If we sing it it will be Amanda McKenna’s tune.

  1. I’m rather excited that I have been blessed with the addition of an organist and more singers (young adults with better voices than this old codger!) who enjoy traditional style music, so I am looking to go beyond CWBII from time to time. This week we will be singing the communion antiphon in Latin with English verses (to a psalm tone); while not ostinato, I see it as not far removed from Taize in style.

    Palm Sunday:

    CWB2:302 ‐ Hosanna to the Son of David [Missal] antiphon only
    CWB2:303 ‐ All Glory, Laud and Honour [Neale / SAINT THEODULPH]
    CWB2:330 ‐ O Sacred Head, Surrounded [Baker / PASSION CHORALE]
    Graduale Simplex: Pater, si non potest (Father, if this cup cannot pass …) with Psalm 22 (21).
    No recessional hymn

      Wonderful – I’m jealous of your voices and organ. I could hijack them but you are 300km away and with fuel being as it is they are probably safe.
