The Cantata version of Hosanna of the Clouds was created for Ryan Turner and the Musicians of Emmanuel Music (John Harbison, Principal Guest Conductor) for Palm Sunday 2025. Eighteen (18) minutes in duration, this work is scored for soprano soloist, mixed chorus, and a small chamber orchestra, downsized from the original instrumentation. The Latin text was chosen for the purity of the sound that it evokes. Three areas of the piece feature non-Latin text: a kind of cosmic scat which takes over and leads wordlessly into the Golden Section climax; the word “maranatha”, an ancient prayer in Aramaic meaning “come, o Lord!” or “make room for the master”; and the English utterance “make room.” A progression from inner (intimate) to outer (collective) is articulated over the work’s seven sections.
