Program Notes
After I wrote an Elegy when my maternal grandmother died, my father invited me to write a piece when his mother died. She was a devout Catholic, and thus I felt that an Alleluia would be appropriate. This setting is in four parts (SATB), not eight as I typically use. It is written in a fairly traditional style, which my grandmother would have enjoyed, with just a touch of modern harmony.
