Song Description

Song from the collection covering the time from Palm Sunday to the Resurrection. This one is the trip Jesus took on the donkey into Jerusalem.

 

Musical Description

A gentle 4/4 shuffle employing a strong, plodding tonic / dominant, alternating to lend to the humorous gait of the donkey. Indeed, this juxtaposition of the most humble of animals carrying the King of Kings is beautifully amalgamated musically in this piece. The chorus is unashamedly boogie-woogie in format and notation, the strong and strident super tonic major pushing onto the dominant 7th. A further juxtaposition is explored with a largely monotone ecclesiastical chorus singing over boogie-woogie, translating into a counter melody before concluding.
