Sing Alleluia

"Sing Alleluia" is a bright and straightforward Gospel Acclamation that does exactly what its title suggests—it calls the entire congregation to lift their voices in praise just before the Gospel is proclaimed. Written by Mmalu Chiedozie, this short piece is built entirely around the joyful repetition of "Alleluia," making it incredibly easy for the assembly to catch the melody and join the choir.

In the choir loft, pieces like this are a blessing. They do not require weeks of intense rehearsal, yet they bring a wonderful energy to the Mass. The harmony parts echo and support the main melody, creating a full, resonant sound that carries well across the church. It is the kind of acclamation that wakes everyone up and focuses their attention on the Word of God about to be read by the priest or deacon.

Because the text relies simply on the universal word of praise, this acclamation fits naturally into almost any Sunday in Ordinary Time, or during the festive seasons of Easter and Christmas. It is a pure expression of joy, inviting everyone present to welcome the Gospel with a glad heart.
