About Alleluia, I Heard a Voice
Thomas Weelkes paints a vivid and powerful scene in this SATBB setting of a sacred English text. The words speak of a voice like thunder, proclaiming 'Alleluia' and a grand declaration of 'Salvation and glory and honour and power' to God and the Lamb. Weelkes captures the awe and majesty of this vision through his masterful writing for five voices. This anthem is a significant work from the sacred repertoire, offering a compelling musical experience that resonates with the biblical text.
