Alleluia: De quacumque tribulatione was written for Lawrence Sisk and the Lewis
University Choir. This work was intended for inclusion in a performance which
included Palestrina's Missa Aeterna Christi munera. Alleluia: De quacumque tribulatione
is the first Alleluia, one of the Propers, for the feast of St.
Joseph the worker. As in many of my compositions, rhythm plays a prominent role.
In this work, the rhythmic organization is not metrical, but instead it is based
upon phrases. This work also explores many of my interests in choral music.
More notably is the contrasts in the color of vowels, episodes of indeterminacy,
and the comparative timbre of vocal sections.
This work was written as a companion piece to Bonitas Domini, a choral piece
written for the same occasion.
From the Graduale
1st Alleluia for the feast of St. Joseph the worker
Out of whatever tribulations they may have called to me, I have heard
them, and I shall always be their protector.
Translation of original Latin
by Lawrence T. Sisk
