The a
cappella motet Alleluja
(2018) is a song of
longing which resonates
existential need as well
as the hope of a profound
connection to God. In the
beginning, which is
delicate and motivically
very concentrated but
metrically deliberately
uncoordinated, more and
more voices gather to
sing together, until
suddenly, starting from
the bass, a violent and
rhythmically exalted
incantation breaks out.
The following fortissimo
unison in a high register
is the climax of the
entire work piece. In the
Abgesang, the beginning
is taken up, but now in a
polyphonic and
harmonically intensified
setting. The end in A
major seems like a
salvation. The work has
been released on the CD
Rejoice. Vocal Music by
Kay Johannsen (Carus
