Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates
This a cappella anthem yields a beautiful, new approach to this oft used Palm Sunday text. The use of major 7th and minor 7th chord cadences yields a sound palette reminiscent of 19th century composers like Erik Satie. Ending the anthem on a major 7th tonic harmonic structure adds a poetic unresolved angst around opening our own “gate,” or heart, to the King of kings.
