#828: Alleluia! Voices Raise

The meter is not listed as "trailing alleluias," but it qualifies, and also has "alleluia"s in the middle. The original text is from the 1600s, so we get old-school compounds like 'Thus our song shall overclimb/all the bounds of space and time." (When was the last time you overclimbed something?) But the tune was written in the 1990s; the fact that the tune name is "Princeton" made me wonder if it was written for a college choir who wanted to do something sacred-ish but not too preachy or overused. I didn't really expect to find out anything about the musical composer when I looked it up, but apparently, he (Richard Hillert) wrote the primary "This Is The Feast" arrangement from the 1978 "green book," so I actually have heard his stuff a lot!
