Alleluia (string orchestra) Ralph Manuel / Arr. Katie O’Hara LaBrie

BELWIN CONCERT STRING ORCHESTRA

A beautiful choral melody reinvented for strings, this work takes the player through a journey of powerful emotion. The opening lyrical theme is a great tool for teaching expressive bow technique as well as chamber playing and phrasing to emulate the original choral text. Imitative counterpoint creates contrast in the sprightly middle section, where all parts interplay and receive importance.
