3. 'The Palms'

“The Palms” was composed by famed 19th century French opera singer and actor Jean-Baptiste Fauré and is also known as “Les Rameaux.”

A 2018 entry on the Patheos blog “The Deacon’s Bench” described “The Palms” as “a triumphant piece of choral music” which is “a perennial feature at my parish on Palm Sunday.”

One popular recording of the choral piece was made several years ago at the former Crystal Cathedral of Orange County, California, and uploaded to YouTube on Feb. 28, 2012.
