About Alleluia. Per te Dei

This is a Gospel Acclamation in Latin, suitable for use during services. Composed by John Sheppard, it is set for TTBB male voices. The text, beginning Alleluia, expresses praise and theological reflection on Mary's role as the Mother of God, through whom life was restored to humanity. It specifically references her conception of Christ and her role in bringing the Saviour to the world. The piece offers a rich harmonic setting, ideal for choirs looking to explore Renaissance sacred repertoire.
