ALLELUIA (Ralph Manuel) arr. Mark Ford (BB) Medium

Ralph Manuel arranged for Brass Band by Mark Ford

In composing Alleluia, Ralph Manuel created a masterwork for the a capella choir. Through its melodic simplicity and warm harmonic textures, it beautifully expresses the sentiments of “Alleluia,” its only word of text. The numerous timbral possibilities of brass and percussion provides an exciting palette of sound for this arrangement.

This arrangement for brass band is from the pen of Mark Ford in a delightful setting sure to be popular with audiences.

This arrangement was commissioned by Luke Bradbery and the Parramatta City Band to be performed in the 2026 Australian National Championships.
