Boosey and Hawkes Hallelujah (No. 3 from Heavenly Home: Three American Songs) Sop 1/2 Alto Tenor Bass 1/2 by Shawn Kirchner

This amazing work, premiered by the Los Angeles Master Chorale, Grant Gershon, director, is a contrast of homophonic refrains against polyphonic verses. Beginning with the austere Sacred Harp tune Heavenly Home, California composer Kirchner sets hallelujahs leaping and plunging and circling through the choir to thrilling results. Duration: ca. 3:30.
