    I wanted to try something slightly more expansive this choral season, so I put this formulation together, using music from the Graduale Parvum.

    I believe the intention was for these to be begun in a manner similar to the Gregorian alleluias on which the melodies were mostly based. Imagine an asterisk and an ij. at that first half-bar, and execute similarly.

    Very interesting idea. May I ask, what has been your experience using a jubilatic alleluia at the NO? Any complaints about participation?

    Our congregation took readily to the Alleluia vidimus stellam for Epiphanytide and, for Eastertide, Alleluia ascendit Deus. These are of course two of the shorter jubiluses; another way might have been to start with the Medicean Gradual.

    Takes a special congregation and a special pastor to pull it off. We did a few at my last parish but we were coming out of covidtide and I had a very traditional pastor with an advanced choir that was totally on board. The congregation learned them. That said, it was a musically literate congregation and the parish had a long history of advanced choral singing (weirdly so, for being a small town parish). So everything coalesced to work in our favor. I don't feel comfortable doing that where I am at present. I think some people would just roll their eyes and sigh "more fancy music".

    I tried the Mode 6 Alleluia based on Sanctus VIII which you can find in the Anglican Use simple propers. It's very, very short, but elegant enough and one-fold.

    We first starting by using the initial jubilus as the cantor's intonation, but it ended up being less confusing (we have many one-off visitors) to have the cantor sing the entire alleluia first, which guaranteed its entire repetition.
