Alleluia is the long-awaited sister work to David MacIntyre's Ave Maria* (1994) which has enjoyed continuous and regular performances around the world by fine women's choirs a!! and some extraordinary children's choirs, too. Like its sister work, Alleluia dances over compelling harmonies, undulating phrases, and syncopated rhythms. Alleluia, a word that has captured humanity's imagination for millennia, is at the centre of this celebratory meditation on joy.
