after Fugue No. 9 from Das Wohltemperierte Klavier, Book II (BWV 878)
by Johann Sebastian Bach
arranged by R. Matthew Brown
This joyful SATB Alleluia is a choral reimagining of the subject and contrapuntal energy of Bach’s Fugue No. 9 from The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book II. Drawing directly from the fugue’s motivic material, the arrangement transforms Bach’s keyboard counterpoint into a lyrical, singable choral texture while preserving the forward motion, clarity, and elegance of the original.
Written entirely on the text “Alleluia,” the setting unfolds as a continuous, through-composed celebration, passing melodic material fluidly between voices and allowing each section of the choir to participate in the contrapuntal dialogue. Careful attention is given to vocal line shape, range, and breath, making the work both satisfying to rehearse and effective in performance.
Ideal for concert use or festive liturgical settings, this piece works well for capable church choirs, collegiate ensembles, and advanced high-school groups seeking a Baroque-inspired work that bridges historical material and contemporary choral writing.
