About Hallelujah! For unto us a Child is born
William Henry Monk's Hallelujah! For unto us a Child is born is an anthem for SATB choir, ideal for Christmas services and celebrations. The text, drawn from Isaiah chapter 9, vividly portrays the anticipation and wonder surrounding the birth of the Messiah. It describes the child as a Wonderful Counsellor, the mighty God, the Everlasting Father, and the Prince of Peace, emphasizing the profound significance of this event. Monk's setting, sung in English, captures the triumphant and joyful nature of these prophetic words, offering a powerful musical expression of hope and peace that resonates deeply during the Christmas season. This anthem provides a rich and uplifting experience for both choir and congregation.
