Alleluia let's sing

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hallelujah Let's Sing is a Catholic spiritual song for the Easter season . It first appeared in Heinrich Bone's “Cantate” in 1851 , and then in its present version in 1891 in Joseph Hermann Mohr's hymn book Psalterlein. The Easter song “Praise the Death Overcomer” is sung to the same melody; this of Klopstock written 1768 Easter poem written Silcher in 1825 for the first time a melody, the first two lines of a clear recognition effect with today's tune of Price's death conqueror and Hallelujah let has to sing. This melody is ascribed to JBC Schmidts, a Düsseldorf high school teacher, and can be found in the "Collection of Church Chants for Catholic High Schools" (Düsseldorf 1836) with the text "Preis dem Todesüberwinder". In the foreword Schmidts mentions a collaboration with Bone, which, as they say, relates to the editing of song texts. Already in 1893, Hallelujah let's sing, but then again in Bones version, was included in the appendix of the Hildesheim diocesan chant, in 1897 it was included in the Münster diocesan chant and "around 1900" in the "Magnificat" of the Archdiocese of Freiburg. In the praise of God from 1975 ( own part of Münster ) it was still called “Alleluia let's sing” as in Mohr's Little Psalter. In its (almost, so) original text form it is part of many diocesan song appendices to the praise of God from 2013 and as early as 1975, only the melody was changed from 1/2 to 1/4 notes.

The fourth stanza in particular is sung in many (Catholic) church services on the so-called Sunday of the Good Shepherd , as the text “ Hallelujah come you heathens see the shepherd who nourishes you ” refers to the Gospel of this Sunday.

In 1988 Hannes Demming wrote a text to the melody of Hallelujah let's sing , which was included in three stanzas as “Gloria in the Easter time” in the diocesan annex of Münster and is a paraphrase of the glorious text from the missal. The opening line reads "To you, God in the highest heights be worship, honor and praise" and the refrain (instead of Hallelujah Jesus lives ) "To you be honor Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, now and forever Gloria!" There is also a "Sanctus song "In the own part of the diocese of Trier with the same melody as in" Hallelujah let's sing ".
