He began his musical career as a choir boy at St. Paul’s cathedral and throughout his career, he wrote symphonies and church music.Alleluia was originally written for four voices a cappella; however, this arrangement has an accompaniment that may be used for rehearsal or in performance. The key has also been lowered from the original key of C major to Bb major, making this arrangement of this beautiful work for SSA voices more accessible for SSA choirs.The form consists of homophonic sections followed by canons and refrains with the homophonic sections.Whether performing a cappella or with piano, sing Alleluia by William Boyce with joy and enthusiasm. This classic canon for treble voices contains the single text "Alleluia" where each part has the opportunity to present the melodic line.Alleluiamay be performed a cappella or with piano. This is an excellent teaching piece and appropriate for festival and concert. Also available for Three-Part Mixed Voices (CM9169).
