  • gross. and That song is not accompanied. gross

  • Thompson's Alleluia is intended to be an unaccompanied work, and is an introspective and pensive work, written as it was in 1940.

  • Are there ALTO-TENOR'S??? Sweet! I also am an alto-tenor!

  • Sure! My Mom sang tenor as well. 'Tis a noble group.

  • ooops, I stand corrected, it was the Berkshire Music Center at Tanglewood, Mass, in 1940, its premier, and the music arrived 45 minutes before it was performed!

  • Nice job, I agree it is better ( and intended ) to be a capella, but it was written originally for a ceremony at Harvard, IIRC, and there was VERY limited time for rehearsal at it debut. One of the finest "Alleluias " out there, Sop section did a good job, no scooping on those high notes, and the Tenor and Bass section seemed confident. Nice blend, IMHO,

  • good, but where were the altos?

  • our choir has them

  • write unitarian universalist minister doctor, d.min jeremy taylor of starr king school of ministry and ask him why he hates God so much he stole the God spoken protected name ministry of dreams to ruin prophet and starr king school of ministry rebecca parker knows and has known for years and protects, Starr King School for the Ministry is a Unitarian Universalist, California and part of the Graduate Theological Union, starr king school of ministry is the marin institute saith God, both cut off

  • sounds amazing, especially for one rehearsal. in my opinion, the way the chords resolve at or around the 4:20-4:30 region will make or break this piece, and you guys made it. keep singing it.

  • volume level is all wrong. Beginning markings are (ppp) and it should be song sweetly.

  • Nice, but you didn't need the piano, I think you could have sounded even better without it.

  • You did that performance after just one rehearsal? Wow! I like how you brought out the accents in the movento section.
