Alleluia
Contemporary Motet
The contemporary motet Alleluia evokes the style of Renaissance motets of the late 16th Century. Although the piece is a neo-classical work showing the typical polyphonic texture of this genre in imitative counterpoint, its harmonic treatment, rhythmic approach and compositional techniques respond to the modern period of the 20th Century. The first part of the motet has a polyphonic texture, while the second part has homophonic and homorhythmic textures.
