About the piece
A hymn of acclamation and praise that invites us to crown Christ as Lord of all. This edition carries the melody with its text, in 17 measures, in 4/4.
How to prepare it
The melody spans D4–E5 (a major ninth): the top note, E5, asks for a prepared entrance with breath rather than force. It is a hymn with a firm pulse: rehearse with a metronome so the assembly does not rush the energetic phrases. For the closing refrain, let the volume grow gradually.
When to use it
A natural entrance hymn in Ordinary Time, and for solemnities that proclaim the kingship of Christ.
