Alleluia in C

Charles H. Giffen’s setting of Alleluia in C for SATB voices is a jubilant and straightforward expression of praise. The music opens with a bright, declarative statement of the text, soon blossoming into fuller harmonies. The interplay between the voices creates a sense of joyful acclamation, with the familiar text sung in English. This work is ideal for adding a moment of bright liturgical colour to a service, its clear melodic lines and resonant harmonies making it accessible for choirs of many levels. The piece builds to a satisfying conclusion, embodying the exultant spirit of its sacred text.
