Just what the title says: seven short SATB settings of the word Alleluia, in a variety of styles, all of them accessible to choirs of modest ability.
The first is based on a cantus firmus from the Ave Maris Stella chant.
The second has a Byzantine flavor.
The third is more introspective.
The fourth takes part of its melody from "Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence."
The fifth is a chant-like melody that is repeated in four-part harmony.
The sixth has a Mozartian character, while the seventh again has an Eastern character.
Any of these could be used as a refrain with psalm verses sung in between, either for Offertory or Communion on a feastday; or as a way to set apart the proper Alleluia on a feastday.
