Alleluia! Praise to You, Vol. 1

Alleluia! Praise to You is a growing series of gospel acclamation collections. Individual volumes are geared toward either contemporary ensemble or choir and organ; each has its own songbook and CD recording. This series is a must-have for liturgists and music directors from all parishes -- large or small, contemporary or traditional -- and is a great companion to the Singing the Psalms series.

Volume 1 contains 15 new and well-known settings arranged for contemporary ensemble -- choir, cantor, keyboard, guitar and other instruments. Each setting contains multiple verses, so the assembly can learn a single refrain and use it throughout the season.

A comprehensive scriptural index makes it easy to find just the right acclamation for the occasion.

Volume 1 also includes gospel acclamations for every Sunday in Lent for each of the three Lectionary cycles, plus "Alleluia" verses that can be used for nearly every Sunday and feast day throughout the year.
