About This Song
About "Rejoice in the Lamb, Op. 30 : Britten: Rejoice in the Lamb, Op. 30: Hallelujah" by Peter Barley
The final Hallelujah is not a simple shout but a complex, layered release. Britten stacks the voices until the word becomes a structure of its own, bright and overwhelming. It's joy with a shadow, a celebration that knows the cost.
