lutheranhymnsSome bass echoes here for the refrain: "Rejoice! (Rejoice!)" Etc. Alto part has both accidental sharps and flats so that keeps you on your toes.
Describing Jesus' cross as a "festal banner" is pretty bold. I guess it's associated with a festival (Easter, Good Friday), and...it's...a banner? In the sense that we should be loyal to it rather than any earthly flag? Okay, I like that interpretation. But it's still a bold move.
