John Rutter is prodigious at writing Christian music of various sorts. There's a song I'm pretty sure he wrote that I used to hear on the Moody Bible Institute program "The Sound of Majesty" that had a beautiful chorus of polyphonic alleluias. Does anyone have any idea what song that might be? I've been making my way through all of John Rutter's work (buying CDs, listening to song snippets on Amazon) and I can't identify that song. Can anyone tell me what it is? It's just one song, not a master choral work or anything. I can't even remember how the song begins, only the long chorus.

Have you tried the requiem by Rutter?

Quite a few composers have written choral pieces on just "Alleluia" -- I'm not aware of one by John Rutter, but you might find that what you're thinking of was possibly written by Randall Thompson, Ralph Manuel, or even J. S. Bach.

Do you mean the Leonard Cohen song that everybody and his dog has recorded? It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor third, the major lift...
