lutheranhymnsDoes this song feature trailing alleluias?
Not only does every verse end with an "alleluia," but also there's a line of "alleluias" for just after the last verse, and the same line just at the beginning! So...yes, definitely. This falls into the category of "with" rather than "and" alleluias.
Where has this been sampled?
A couple Easters my choir sang a big mashup of a bunch of different Easter hymns (and loud over-the-top original additions by the composer), this was one of them. There were some parts for everyone in harmony, some for a soloist, and then some for an ensemble of one each soprano/alto/tenor/bass. So I think towards the end this and another song traded lines, one for the soloist and one for the whole group.
