Singing Alleluia [AMP-18]
This work, for SATB choir with keyboard accompaniment, is a new treatment of the familiar hymn "For All the Saints." The traditional text is set to music that recalls the traditional tune, both in chord progressions and snippets of melody, resulting in a refreshing take on this hymn.
Suggested uses include celebrating the life of the church, All Saints Day, and memorial services. Like many other works by Dale Grotenhuis, this piece is approachable for any choir, while not lacking in depth.

SINE NOMINE
Text
For all the saints who from their labors rest, who to the world by faith their Lord confessed, Your name, O Jesus, be forever blessed. Alleluia!
You were their rock, their fortress and their might, you, Lord their captain in the well-fought fight, and in the darkness drear, their one true light. Alleluia!
May all your soldiers, faithful, true and bold, fight as the saints who nobly fought of old, and win with them the victor's crown of gold. Alleluia!
But then there breaks a yet more glorious day; the saints triumphant rise in bright array, the King of glory passes on his way. Alleluia!
From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast, through gates of pearl streams in the countless host, Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost: Alleluia!
