Alleluia, Cantate Domino

Alleluia, Cantate Domino is a traditional liturgical text, here set by Marques Garrett, who was commissioned by Harvard University's Department of Music in honor of the centenary of Black American musicologist, researcher, author, and teacher Eileen Southern. The harmonic structure is transparent, giving the work a contemporary sound and adding freshness without difficulty. High school, college, and festival choirs will count this as a program favorite.
