Grace O'Duffy: Little Alleluia: Gemischter Chor mit Begleitung

Here is a rhythmic choral miniature. The piece opens with a sparkling soprano motif, joined quickly by the other voices in rhythmic and fragmented repetition of the word alleluia, representing an enthusiastic outpuring of joy. The music alternates between 10/8 and 7/8, maintaining a feeling of spontaneity and exuberance.
