Alleluia, Song of Gladness [BEAUDRY 87. 87. 87] (Charles H. Giffen)

Here is John Mason Neale's translation "Alleluia, Song of Gladness" of Alleluia, dulce carmen, set to my hymn tune BEAUDRY. It is especially appropriate for the last Sunday before Lent.

There are three harmonizations of the tune, with progressively more movement in the inner voices, and the third providing also a soprano descant. The accompanying sound file, simulates the organ playing through the first harmonization (introduction), then voices and full organ on the first harmonization (first verse), then voices (choir?) with less than full registration on the second harmonization (second verse), then voices without the descant and full organ on the third harmonization (third verse), and finally unison voices plus the descant with full organ on the third harmonization (fourth verse).

Enjoy.
