Carey Music Instructor Publishes Choral Anthem
Wes Cameron, an instructor of music at William Carey University, recently received a contract from Hope Publishing Company to publish one of his original compositions.
Cameron's piece, ";Entrance to Jerusalem,"; is a choral anthem celebrating the entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. It begins with a unison choir singing ";Hosanna to the Son of David!"; with a unison melody building to two parts and then to soprano, alto, tenor and bass. The piece then builds to the final statement of ";Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, most High,"; with an optional timpani.
The text of the anthem is based on Matthew 21:9-11. The anthem is slated to appear in the publishing company's catalogs beginning in next year's Lent and Easter seasons.
