PRAISE GOD ALLELUIA

"Praise God Alleluia" takes the familiar, beloved chord progression of Pachelbel's Canon and transforms it into a joyful choral anthem. Mary Mike Mordi's arrangement builds layer by layer, starting with the lower voices before blossoming as the sopranos and altos join the cascading melody. The continuous, overlapping phrases of "Alleluia" and "Praise God" create a bright and uplifting atmosphere in the church.

In the choir loft, this piece is a wonderful exercise in breath control and timing. Because the voices enter in a round, each section must hold its own line steadily against the others. We often bring this out for festive occasions, Easter Sunday, or as a grand entrance song where the choir can really fill the space with harmony. The familiar classical foundation makes it instantly recognizable to the congregation, while the sacred lyrics give it a clear liturgical purpose.

As the song moves into its final sections, the flowing "Amen" and "Oh praise Him" lines blend together into a glorious finish. It is the kind of piece that demands attention and lifts the spirits of everyone listening, leaving a lingering sense of joy long after the final note is sung.
