Alleluia for Christmas

"Alleluia for Christmas" is a bright and joyful choral greeting by Gudugu Gabriel, written to celebrate the festive season. Subtitled on the score as an "African Melody," the piece carries a lively, rhythmic energy that immediately invites the congregation into the joy of the Nativity. It opens with a soaring, threefold "Alleluia" before transitioning into the warm, familiar wish of "We wish you a merry Christmas."

In the choir loft, this straightforward and uplifting arrangement is perfect for Christmas carol services, end-of-year parish concerts, or as a cheerful recessional song during the Christmas octave. Its repetitive, echoing harmony parts allow the different voices to cascade and build, creating a festive atmosphere that captures the celebratory spirit of the season.
