The seldom heard Procession of Palms by Australian composer, Malcolm Williamson, is a wonderful little piece in three sections: 1. 'Ride on in majesty' (you can almost hear the donkey clip-clopping along!); 2. 'All Glory, Laud and Honour'; and 3. 'Benedictus qui venit'. It is performed here by the Mastersingers, accompanied by the composer on organ. 8 minutes.
