GOSPEL GREETINGS

Y All Lucis
Alleluia Lucis
by Nick Baty
A simple Alleluia based on Pachelbel’s Canon in D. The assembly sings (and hums) the refrain while the cantor superimposes the Gospel verse over the top. Easy to learn and memorable. £1.

Y All VE
Alleluia Veni Emmanuel
by Nick Baty
As it’s name suggests, the piece was originally a Gospel greeting for Advent and Christmas. It’s now been extended to include verses for Easter and other Sundays of the year. £1.

Y All Summ
Summer Alleluia
by Nick Baty
While the assembly sings the melody, your choir or cantors can choose from several verses set to two different melodies. All three themes work together so the music can build up as the Gospel procession approaches the lectern. £1.

Y All Winter
Winter Alleluia
by Nick Baty
A mellow Gospel greeting with verses for cantor and optional choir (2-part) accompaniment. £1.
