 Sing Allelu, Alleluia - Philip Hayes; arranged by and with additional music by Patrick M. Liebergen
for Four-part Mixed Voices (SATB) with Keyboard and optional Flute.
A tune by 18th Century hymn writer Philip Hayes (1738-1797), is the basis for a lyrical new anthem devised by Pat Liebergen. The part writing in the four-part sections is very straightforward, with some imitative writing, and the flute part greatly enhances the gentle and expressive effect. There are also alternate words to make the piece usable at Christmas time as well as for more general occasions. Moderately easy.
