For Western Christians, tomorrow is Palm Sunday, the first day of Holy Week.
At the beginning of Mass, the suggested antiphon echoes the words of the crowds in the Gospel of Matthew 21: 9:
"Hosanna to the Son of David;
blessed is he who comes
in the name of the Lord,
the King of Israel.
Hosanna in the highest"
The Englishman Orlando Gibbons (1583-1625) was one of multiple composers through the centuries to put this verse to music. For this week's "YouTube clip for a peaceful weekend," here is Chanticleer with that beautiful setting.
Peace:
