Regarding the composition of Regarding the composition of
"Ingrediente Domino," Stephanie Martin comments: "I tried to narrate this dramatic Palm Sunday text in a style that evokes another time and place. The procession into Jerusalem builds approaching the holy city; the higher voices of the choir evoke the innocence of childrens voices; the gentle, elegant gesture of waiving palm branches; the excitement of the people going out to meet the Lord. I write in 5/4 time since this lends a slightly unsettled feeling, which foreshadows another pro-cession that will happen on Good Friday."Martin comments: "I tried to narrate this dramatic Palm Sunday text in a style that evokes another time and place.
