One moment…

This joyful piece is also featured in Alfred's Sing at First Sight (a choral sight singing method), so you can be assured that it will be easy to teach, with singable lines and simple intervals. Partner song format, with two independent melodies that work beautifully together as the song progresses. A simple bell part, Alberti style keyboard, and vocal descant add to the Mozartian flair, or sing this one with our classical sounding SoundTrax. Programmable at any time of year.

Don't just read it, hear it, play along with it, and watch your students grow with it. In MakeMusic Cloud, Sing Alleluia, Allelu!: 2-Part Choral Octavo comes alive with professional accompaniment, adjustable tempo, and built-in practice tools that turn solo practice into real progress.

Why we love this

Beck has deliberately written singable lines and simple intervals here, pulling from his expertise as author of Sing at First Sight. The partner song structure gives singers a genuine musical challenge (tracking an independent melody while hearing another) without requiring advanced reading skills, making it an ideal choice for choirs building toward more complex repertoire.

What to expect

The music radiates Mozartian elegance and joy. Two melodies dance around each other with genuine independence, while the bell counterpart and keyboard accompaniment create a bright, celebratory texture that feels both classical and approachable.

Who it's for

This piece suits developing 2-part choirs that are ready to tackle partner songs without overwhelming them. It works equally well for upper elementary and middle school choirs, adult community ensembles, or as a bridge piece for high school singers learning independent melodic thinking.

How to get the most out of it

Balance the two melodic lines so each part hears itself as a complete thought rather than accompaniment. Have singers listen across to the other voice part during rehearsal to understand how the melodies complement each other.
Treat the bell part and Alberti keyboard as a textural element that frames the voices, not something that needs to carry the musical weight. Keep the accompaniment clear and rhythmically precise so singers stay anchored.
Consider the vocal descant as a moment to feature your most secure singers or as a way to lift the final phrase. Rehearse it separately before layering it with the full choir.
Use the recorded SoundTrax to establish the classical style and interpretation, letting singers hear how the partner song structure unfolds musically before drilling individual parts.

How to use it

Program this during spring concerts or end-of-year celebrations when programming allows for lighter, uplifting sacred work. Its Mozartian character also makes it suitable for classical-themed concerts or standalone performances of partner songs that showcase choral development.
