<p>Randall Thompson's Alleluia, composed in 1940, quickly became one of the most popular pieces sung by American choirs, and, eventually by choirs throughout the world. The fascinating story of its conception and development spanning the latter half of the 20th century is engagingly told here by Prof. Schmidt. Included is not only his narrative about this famous a cappella piece, but also information concerning the original manuscripts and printed editions. Several appendices provide additional details about manuscripts, editions, and performance history. Finally, complete color reproductions of Thompson's original manuscript and the lithographed edition used for the first performance are included.</p>
